Trail races in Canary Islands — March 2026
The Canary Islands are Spain's most complete trail running destination: Transgrancanaria, Tenerife Bluetrail by UTMB, Transvulcania and more. Volcanoes, laurel forests, coastline and subtropical climate all 12 months of the year.
2 races scheduled
Climate in Canary Islands: The privilege of the Canary Islands is that you can run all 12 months of the year. Coastal temperatures hover around 20-25 °C year-round, while summit temperatures can drop below 5 °C. Summer is viable if you avoid midday hours in low areas. In winter, while mainland Spain is under snow, the big races take place here: Transgrancanaria in February, Tenerife Bluetrail in June, Transvulcania in autumn. The key is altitude: each island has microclimates that change dramatically with elevation.

Tips for running in Canary Islands in march
Pollen allergies start in March: if you are sensitive, carry antihistamine and consider a buff to cover nose and mouth.
Days are longer but mornings still cool: a thin thermal base layer under your race shirt can make the difference.
Pine processionary caterpillars are active in March: avoid touching nests and keep distance from caterpillars on the trail.
