Following the cancellation of the first two stages, the 2024 Ruta del Sol kicked off with a short ITT . It was only 5 kilometers long before it evened out and continued in rolling fashion. The last few hundred metres was a cobbled towards Alcaudete Castle.
The route would then continue with a shortened stage on a hilly circuit around Lucena, but that one was cancelled, lust like the original last stage. So, the 2024 edition of the Ruta del Sol was just 5 kilometres long.
