Ultra Montaña Palentina 2026

Recommended gear

high mountain terrain65km · 4,500m D+Advanced10°C – 20°C

High mountain terrain in the Cantabrian range. Courses exceed 2,000 meters with technical limestone terrain. September can bring rain, fog, and cold at summit level.

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.
