Mallorca by UTMB 2026
Recommended gear
Mediterranean mountain terrain with dry stone paths, technical trails, and ridge sections. October offers mild temperatures but rain is possible.
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.
