Vuelta a Burgos Feminas information
The 2026 edition of the Vuelta a Burgos Feminas will be held from May 21-24.
The race is part of the Women's WorldTour, having started as a national level race in 2015, and jumping up to ProSeries status before joining the WorldTour in 2019. The event was cancelled in 2020 due to the COVID-19 coronavirus pandemic.
in 2025 Marlen Reusser gave Spanish team Movistar a home win with back-to-back stage wins. She dominated the final stage 4 time trial to secure overall victory at the Vuelta a Burgos Feminas.
Reusser beat Juliette Labous (FDJ-Suez) by six seconds and Elisa Longo Borghini (UAE Team ADQ) by eight seconds in the time trial. In the final GC, Longo Borghini produced a good ride to move ahead of Yara Kastelijn (Fenix-Deceuninck) into second place, while Labous jumped to fifth place overall.
Reusser showed her stage race talents with victory on the key mountain stage to Picón Blanco.
2026 Vuelta a Burgos Feminas route
The opening circuit around Burgos is 127 kilometres long with three modest classified climbs in the first half of the stage.
Coming first is the Alto de las Rebolledas at kilometre 11. The two-kilometre climb averages 4.9% but starts with a gentle first half followed by a second kilometre averaging 6%.
Next comes the Alto de Coculina at kilometre 44, with a similar easier first half/harder second part but with more variation in the gradient. The 4% average includes a 5% section near the top.
The final challenge of the day is the Alto Ermita de las Mercedes at kilometre 58. It's 3.3km long but the worst part comes in the second half with a section averaging 7% after a far more gentle first half.
A pan-flat run-in makes this a stage the sprinters will have marked in their road book.
There are no categorised climbs on the second stage from Castro Jeriz to Bodega Viña Pedrosa, but a 3% grade in the final kilometre will make for a tougher sprint.
The final stage includes three classified climbs with two coming late in the stage to give the GC contenders a platform to try to escape.
Coming first is the Alto del Portillo de Busto, a 3.5km climb averaging a steady 5.6% and cresting just 13km into the stage.
The Alto de Bocas (cat. 3) is climbed twice, the first trip over it tops out with 31km to go and the second with only 14km remaining.
This climb is toughest in the first half, with a kilometre at 8%, one kilometre at 7% and then a flatter final 800 metres at 3.5%.
