Monday Break - Issue 124
What a weekend! Packed with emotions, community, and big moments. Here’s some exciting news to start your week strong!
Barcelona Marathon with On.
This past weekend, we were in Barcelona with On, bringing to life a series of activations to celebrate their partnership with the Barcelona Marathon. It was an intense and inspiring few days, packed with events and experiences designed to connect with the running community in a unique way.
From the impressive stand at the expo, where attendees engaged with the brand through interactive activations, to a special community event, every moment was carefully curated to motivate and inspire runners of all levels.
One of the weekend’s highlights was the cheering point during the race, where the energy was electric, and the support for marathoners was truly unforgettable.
Still processing everything we experienced over the past few days. Huge thanks to the On team, Marató de Barcelona, and everyone who made this possible (once again).
Will write more about it soon :)

Cape Epic has started!
First time entrants Luca Braidot and Simone Avondetto (Wilier-Vittoria) claimed a surprise win today at the 2025 Absa Cape Epic Prologue on Meerendal Wine Estate. The Italian duo are cross-country specialists, but ahead of the 2025 Absa Cape Epic they weren’t listed among the favourites. In hot, dry and dusty conditions, they claimed first place on the 26km Prologue in a time of 59:45.
In the Aramex UCI Women’s Category race it was a successful comeback to the Absa Cape Epic for five-time winner Annika Langvad (Toyota | Specialized). Langvad, racing with 2022 champion Sofia Gomez Villafane, hasn’t raced professionally since 2019. On her return to the Cape Epic, anticipation was high that she would carry on where she left off.
