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 november
Trails can be very muddy in November: use shoes with deep lugs and good drainage.
Wear reflective clothing if the race finishes at dusk — in November it gets dark before 6 PM.
It is a good time for exploratory races with no time pressure, enjoying the autumn landscape.
