About TrailRunTemple

A team of mountain runners creating the most complete guide for every trail running race.

Why TrailRunTemple exists

Every time we signed up for a new trail race, we spent hours searching for the same information: where to sleep near the start line, which shoes work best on that terrain, how to get there, which insurance to take out. The information was scattered across dozens of websites, forums and WhatsApp groups.

TrailRunTemple was born to solve that problem. We create a Pack 360 for every race: a single guide with everything a runner needs, from registration to insurance, including accommodation, gear, nutrition and transport.

Who we are

We are a team of mountain runners with experience in races from 21K to ultras of over 100 kilometres. We know the terrain first-hand: we have run in Sierra Nevada, the Pyrenees, Picos de Europa, the Alps and many other mountains.

We are not a generic affiliate website. Every recommendation we make is based on real experience on the ground. When we say you need shoes with grip on rocky terrain for Sierra Nevada, it is because we have been up there at 3,000 metres with loose rocks under our feet.

Our commitment

  • Real data: distances, elevation, prices and dates verified with the organisers of each race
  • Honest recommendations: we test gear before recommending it. We indicate real pros and cons
  • Transparency: some links are affiliate links. We always identify them. This helps us keep the site free for you
  • Constant updates: we review the data for each race with every new edition

The Pack 360 concept

For every race we cover 7 essential areas:

  1. Registration: deadlines, prices, requirements and direct link
  2. Accommodation: hotels, apartments and campsites near the start
  3. Gear: shoes, pack, poles and terrain-specific equipment
  4. Nutrition: gels, bars, hydration and nutritional strategy
  5. Transport: how to get there by plane, train or car
  6. Car rental: comparison tool with the best rates
  7. Insurance: sports and travel insurance with rescue coverage
