Ultra Trail Muntanyes Costa Daurada 2026
Recommended gear
Mountain race through Mediterranean forest trails, stone paths and technical terrain. The Muntanyes de Prades feature red pine, cork oak and rock.
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.
