Missed Out on a Mallorca 312 Entry? How to Still Ride in 2027

Yes, you can still ride the Mallorca 312 after general entries sell out. General registration for 2027 opened on 6 October 2026 and sold out in record time. If you missed out, there are still three routes in: the official waitlist, a tour operator package, and the official Marketplace, which opens on 1 December 2026.

The 2027 Mallorca 312 takes place on Saturday 24 April 2027, starting and finishing at Playa de Muro. Around 8,500 riders take part, and one entry covers all three routes.

Join the official Mallorca 312 waitlist

Do this first. Once general entries have gone, the registration page on the Mallorca 312 website switches to the waitlist. You fill in the form much as you would to enter, and you get an email confirming you are on the list with a reference number.

The waitlist is managed directly by the organisers. It is used to cover places that become available through justified cancellations. If one comes up, you are emailed at the same address to complete your registration, so keep an eye on your inbox and your spam folder through the winter.

It does work. I did not get in on sale day myself. I was number 12,300 in the queue. I joined the waitlist that same day, and two weeks later, on 20 October, the organisers emailed me to offer a place. That is one rider's experience rather than a promise, but it is why I tell everyone to join.

It costs nothing and it does not guarantee you a place. Register even if you are also looking at a tour operator package or the Marketplace, because one does not rule out the others.

What is the difference between the waitlist and the Marketplace?

This is the question I get asked most, so I checked with the organisers. They confirmed that the two are completely separate processes.

• The waitlist is run by the organisation itself, to fill places that come back through justified cancellations. You do not buy from anyone. If a place comes up, the organisers email you.
• The Marketplace is the official platform for buying and selling registrations between riders. A registered rider who can no longer go lists their place, and another rider buys it. The transaction is between the seller and the buyer, through the official platform.

Can you still enter the Mallorca 312 after it sells out?

Yes. Tour operators are allocated entries separately from general registration, so places remain available through them after the public entries have gone.

General entries go quickly. That catches people out every year, particularly riders outside Spain who are asleep or at work when registration opens. The operator route exists precisely because the event knows international riders need a guaranteed way in before they book flights.

Does one entry cover all three distances?

Yes. The 312, the 225 and the 167 all run off the same entry. You nominate a distance when you register, but the routes split on the day, so you are not locked into the number you put down months earlier.

This matters more than people realise. It means you can enter, train properly through the winter, and decide closer to the time which distance is the honest one for the shape you are in. It also means nobody should talk themselves out of entering because they are not sure yet.

How do tour operator entries work?

You book a package rather than an entry. The operator holds a block of places and assigns you one when you book, so your entry is confirmed at the point you pay.

A package normally bundles the entry with accommodation and airport transfers, and most include bike transfers or hire. You are buying the logistics as much as the place, which for an April trip to Mallorca with a bike is usually the harder part anyway.

Which tour operators have Mallorca 312 entries?

These are the ones I would point a rider at. There are others, but these run the event properly rather than treating it as a week's holiday with a sportive attached.

• Mellow Jersey. Full packages with entry, accommodation, transfers, guided pre-rides and on-road support. This is the operator I guide for, so if you ride with them in April you will be riding with me. They still have a few places for 2027. Ask for Emma and mention Ride Harder when you book, and she will look after you.

Can you buy or sell a Mallorca 312 entry?

Only through the official Marketplace, which for the 2027 event is open from 1 December 2026 to 31 March 2027. The event's conditions say the Marketplace is the only way a registration can be put up for sale, and that swapping bibs outside it is not permitted.

If you are selling, you are refunded the registration cost minus a fee: 20% until 1 January, 30% from 2 January to 28 February, and 40% in March. So if you know you cannot ride, list it early.

What you cannot do is buy an entry privately and ride on someone else's number. Riders caught doing it are disqualified. It also leaves you uninsured and untimed on a day with closed roads and a cut-off, which is not a risk worth taking to save a few euros.

The full step by step, for buyers and sellers, is in How to Sell or Buy a Mallorca 312 Entry.

What should a Mallorca 312 package include?

At minimum: a confirmed event entry, accommodation near the start at Playa de Muro, and airport transfers. Anything less and you are paying a premium for a booking service.

Beyond that, the things that genuinely matter on the day:

• A confirmed entry, not a provisional one. You want your place held now, in writing, rather than a promise to find you one later.
• How close the hotel is to the start. A 6am start is very different from twenty minutes down the road.
• Bike transfer or hire. Flying a bike to Palma in April is the busiest week of the year for it.
• Guided rides before the event. Riding the opening climbs before race day is worth more than any amount of route study.
• What happens if you cannot travel. Ask before booking, not after.

How much does a Mallorca 312 package cost?

Expect a meaningful premium over booking flights and a hotel yourself, because you are paying for a guaranteed entry as well as the arrangements.

Prices vary by operator, by how many nights you take and by how early you book, and they move year to year, so check the current figures with the operator directly rather than trusting a number on a blog. Packages typically run from around four nights up to a full week.

Should you wait for the waitlist or book an operator now?

If riding in 2027 genuinely matters to you, book the operator, and join the waitlist anyway. If you are relaxed about whether it happens, the waitlist and the Marketplace are your best routes.

The honest position is that operator allocations are finite too. They sell out quietly over the winter rather than in a rush on one morning, so the risk is not that you miss a deadline, it is that you leave it until February and find there is nothing left on any route.

What if you cannot get an entry at all?

Stay on the waitlist and check the Marketplace regularly from 1 December, because places come up through the winter as people's plans change.

And a Mallorca trip does not need an event to justify it. April on the island is close to perfect riding, and the climbs the route is famous for are there whether you have a number on your bars or not. Plenty of riders ride the route unsupported on their own weekend and come back for the official one the year after.

Do you need an entry before you start training?

No, and waiting for one is the most common mistake riders make.

The 312 is 312 kilometres with over 5,000 metres of climbing. The people who finish it comfortably started building for it in the autumn, not in February once their entry was confirmed. If you begin in the autumn you have a full winter of structured work behind you by the time you fly out. If you begin in February you are hoping.

If you are starting now, the Mallorca 312 Complete Training Plan (22 weeks) is built for exactly this point in the winter, with the strength work, nutrition notes and a structure written for this event rather than adapted from a generic century plan. If the new year suits you better, the 16-week plan starts in early January.
