Backyard Haciendo Sed Burgos 2026
Recommended gear
August in northern Burgos: hot days but cool nights. Low mountain terrain.
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
🌧️33% chance of rain — a waterproof jacket is a must.
