Long Distance Trail Races in Spain 2026

Long trail races, between 42 and 80 km, are the domain of endurance runners. These events exceed marathon distance and demand physical and mental preparation for 6 to 12-hour mountain days. Effort management becomes key: knowing when to push, when to hold back and when to eat can make the difference between finishing strong or dropping out. Spain boasts spectacular long-distance races crossing natural parks, entire mountain ranges and landscapes only visible on foot. The Pyrenees, Cantabrian Range, Central System and Baetic sierras offer settings that justify every kilometre of suffering. If you have already mastered medium distance and are looking for your next challenge, long distance is the natural step.
