Arganza Trail — Cañón del Río Lobos 2026
Recommended gear
April mountain race through the Cañón del Río Lobos and Soria's pine forests. Mixed terrain with canyon trails, forest tracks, and technical mountain sections.
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
🌡️ Expect temperatures as low as 5°C — thermal layers and gloves are essential.
🌧️ 53% chance of rain — a waterproof jacket is a must.
