Desafío Trail Templario 2026
Recommended gear
March race in the Sierra de Ávila. Weather can be cold and changeable above 1,000m altitude. Mandatory gear is indicative, pending confirmation by the organisation.
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 2°C — thermal layers and gloves are essential.
🌧️ 47% chance of rain — a waterproof jacket is a must.
