Over the past 5 years, this event has consolidated itself as one of the best "Trans" mountain bike enduro races in the world. This year the race will visit the destinations of Puro Pirineo, in the Valley of Benasque, and Zona Zero in Sobrarbe. Start and finish will be in Castejón de Sos (in the North of Huesca, Spain) and bikers will have a two-night break in Bielsa (also in the North of Huesca). The event will count with the support of Huesca La Magia de la Bicicleta and Turismo de Aragón as sponsoring institutions.

The organization (a team of more than 30 people including guides, doctors, rescue staff, race management, race office, communication, physiotherapy service, and photographers and camera crew) is working on a new web site (www.trans-nomad.com), which will be officially presented in early March. This new site will describe the event in full detail: destinations, recommended equipment, and anything related to registration.
