40'S FLACO
San Pablo Etla, Oaxaca
1.31 km • Approximately 279 m of descent

Steep and technical black-diamond singletrack featuring loose, loamy soil and sustained descending. Packing nearly 280 metres of vertical drop into just over one kilometre, 40's Flaco delivers steep pitches, high-speed sections, and challenging terrain.

Built by Transierra Norte specifically for this year's race, the trail was funded with the organization's own resources and developed with the permission and support of the San Pablo Etla Comisariado de Bienes Comunales.

A special thanks to the comisariado for their trust, collaboration, and support in bringing this trail to life.
