Zagora is a climb of 9.2 kilometers (category 1). Zagora tops out at 451 m above sea level. It is located in Δημοτική Ενότητα Ζαγοράς, Αποκεντρωμένη Διοίκηση Θεσσαλίας - Στερεάς Ελλάδος, Ελλάς. The average gradient is 5.0% with a maximum of 9.2%. The climb has 465 meters of elevation gain.
Difficulty breakdown: This Category 1 climb is genuinely tough because of its uneven profile. The first section (KM 0-2) is very gentle, but the gradient steadily ramps up to key stretches at 7-8% (KM 5.0-5.5 and KM 8.0-9.2). At 9.2 km long, with sustained climbing after KM 2, it's a proper sustained grind.
Pacing tips:
1. Pacing the start: Use the first 2 km of easy gradient to settle into a steady rhythm and avoid going out too hard.
2. Prepare for the steep sections: The 8% stretches (around KM 5 and in the finale) demand more out of your legs. Drop into a slightly easier gear as you approach them to keep your cadence up.
3. Hold a steady effort: The 5% average gradient is deceptive. Focus on a constant effort rather than your speed, which will fluctuate as the gradient changes.
