Recommended gear

vertical kilometre 5km · 1,000m D+ Advanced 10°C – 20°C

Vertical kilometer of 5 km with over 1,000m D+. Mountain terrain with very steep gradients.

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

🌡️ Temperatures can drop to 10°C — bring a thermal base layer.
