Waterproof jacket with a Gore-Tex Paclite membrane (around 330 g). Fully waterproof with taped seams, fixed adjustable hood, storm flap behind the zip and cuff adjustment. Packs down small in a vest. Heavier than a pure running hardshell, but it meets the waterproof-breathable membrane requirement in race rules and is the affordable route into Gore-Tex.

Gore Wear
Gore Wear M GORE-TEX Thermo Glove
Warmer variant of the Gore Wear C5 GORE-TEX: the same fully waterproof, windproof membrane, with extra thermal lining for intense cold on top of snow or rain. The pick when the problem isn't just water, but water AND hard cold at once.

Trail Indiano
Trail Indiano is held every September in Somao, a village in the Pravia council known for preserving one of the most notable collections of indiano architecture in Asturias. Organized by A.D. Sin Fronteras, the event combines two mountain distances with the village’s heritage appeal.
Two routes through the hills of Pravia
Both distances start and finish in Somao:
- Trail Indiano (20K) — the main distance, along tracks and trails through the hills surrounding the village.
- Trail Corto (13K) — a more accessible version, ideal for those starting out with mountain distances.
Somao, village of indianos
Somao owes its race name to the houses built by the “indianos,” Asturians who emigrated to the Americas, mainly Cuba, and returned with fortunes to build stately homes in their home village. Walking its streets before or after the race is a way to discover this unique part of Asturian history.
Beyond the race in Pravia
Pravia, former capital of the Kingdom of Asturias, offers a charming historic center and good food. After the race, take the chance to explore the mouth of the Nalón river or discover other races in the Asturias region. Check the race planner to organize the full weekend.
