Trail Tierras Pésicas 2026
Recommended gear
Mountain trail with 2,800m D+ in 23.5 km. Varied terrain through forests, vineyards and mountain paths. November in Asturias: cold, damp and possible rain.
Trail shoes, hydration vests, trekking poles, waterproof jackets and the rest of the gear you need. Every recommendation is tailored to the race's specific terrain: high-altitude scree in Sierra Nevada calls for very different shoes than a forest trail in the Basque Country.
Based on historical data from the last 10 years
🌡️Temperatures can drop to 8°C — bring a thermal base layer.
