Peak season for trail running

4 races scheduled

Climate in Navarre: Navarre has two climatic faces. The northern Pyrenees are Atlantic, with frequent rain and winter snow making them ideal from May to October. The middle mountain ranges (Urbasa, Andía) have perfect windows in spring and autumn, with beech forests in full splendor. The southern Bardenas are extreme Mediterranean: best run in winter or spring, as summer is an oven. This variety requires careful planning by zone: while in June you can enjoy the green Pyrenees, the Bardenas will already be a scorching desert.

Tips for running in Navarre 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.
