Recommended gear

trail paths6.706km · 240m D+Elite10°C – 19°C

Mountain loop with 240 m elevation gain per lap. May in Galicia can be rainy and cool.

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.
