Trail Boca del Lobo 2026: what to expect

The third edition takes place in the Tiétar Valley, with start and finish at the same spot, four aid stations on the long race (km 4.8, 8.5, 12.5 and 18.75) and a 3 h 30 min time limit. There are 250 places per race.

The race takes place on 31 October 2026 in Lanzahíta, in the Valle del Tiétar area (Castilla y León), with start and finish at the courtyard of the Arturo Duperier school. It is organised by Excmo. Ayuntamiento de Lanzahíta and the long race starts at 09:30. Registration closes on 29 October at 14:00.

Routes and elevation

There are 2 routes: Trail Running Boca del Lobo (23.5 km, 763 m D+) and Speed Trail Running Boca del Lobo (12.6 km, 420 m D+). Elevation comes from the organisers’ official data. The long race means about 32 m of climbing per kilometre, so pace the ascents and look for good grip on the descents.

Preparation and gear

In late October and early November mornings are cool and afternoons mild, so dress in layers and carry a light windbreaker in your vest. Shoes with medium lugs, a hydration vest with at least half a litre and some solid food for the aid stations cover most situations. If the climbing worries you, folding poles can help on the final stretch.
