Galatzó Trail
The Galatzó Trail is the big mountain race of the municipality of Calvià and one of the most popular in Mallorca. It is held in the Galatzó Public Estate, in the heart of the UNESCO-listed Serra de Tramuntana, and the 2027 edition is on 7 March.
Three distances in the Tramuntana
The Legend covers 43 km with about 2,237 m D+ and climbs two summits: s’Esclop (927 m) and Puig de Galatzó (1,027 m). The 23 km Half (1,133 m D+) suits those looking for a mid-distance mountain race and the 12 km Explorer (292 m D+) is an accessible entry race.
A participation success
In 2026 the organisation sold out in September with 1,100 participants, a record. Registering early is key, both to secure a spot and to pay the lowest rate.
Mallorca beyond the race
Use the trip to visit Sóller, Deià or the Puig de Galatzó at leisure.
If you are combining your trip with other races nearby, take a look at the races in the Balearic Islands and plan your season with the planner.
