Anaga Maratón 2026
Recommended gear
Anaga course with laurel forest, ravines, and ridges. The K30 is the longest and most demanding race in the massif.
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.
