Trail races in Catalonia 2027
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.
17 races, april – november 2027
Races marked "estimated date" are projected from last year's calendar. We confirm each date as soon as the organiser publishes the official 2027 schedule.
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.
