Trail Heróica Sacra 2026
Recommended gear
Galician mountain in June with technical terrain through river canyons, terraced vineyards and Atlantic forest.
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.
