Trail races in Catalonia — April 2026
Catalonia combines high Pyrenean mountains with the Mediterranean coast. From Ultra Pirineu in the Cadi range to coastal races in Cap de Creus, it offers unique terrain diversity for trail running.
5 races scheduled
Climate in Catalonia: The climate varies enormously by altitude. On the coast, winters are mild and you can run year-round. In the Pyrenees, snow covers the peaks from November to May. The ideal window is late spring and autumn: mountain trails are open, temperatures are pleasant and the forests burst with colour. Summer is good in high mountains but hot at lower elevations.

Tips for running in Catalonia in april
Always carry a lightweight waterproof windbreaker in your pack: spring storms arrive without warning.
April is a transition month: you may need short sleeves in the valley and long sleeves at the summit in the same race.
Springs and streams usually carry water in April: even so, do not drink from natural sources without filtering.
