Climb from Medellin's 1,480-meter valley floor toward 2,500 meters, then keep working across the high country

A high-altitude mass-start road race that leaves central Medellín, climbs from a roughly 1,480 m valley floor to terrain near 2,500 m, spends a substantial middle block on rolling mountain roads, and descends back to the city. The organizer's current route page publishes a 138 km Medellín GPX through the northern high country, while the UCI series overview still describes a different 120 km corridor and the May regulations retain provisional 150 km language. The altitude stack: begin at roughly 1,480 m, climb toward 2,500 m, then keep producing power on the high plateau before descending back to Medellín.

For the rider bringing eight focused weeks and seven to eleven hours a week, this plan concentrates the work most likely to matter at UCI Granfondo Colombia: altitude-aware sustained climbing, high-country pacing, descending confidence, fueling, and final-route adaptability.
