Desafío Galayos 2026 2026
Recommended gear
20K mountain trail with significant elevation in Sierra de Gredos. Technical terrain with granite blocks and high-mountain paths.
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.
