Trail Laxe dos Bolos 2026
Recommended gear
Galician mountains in March: technical terrain with rivers, waterfalls and muddy sections. Rain likely.
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 7°C — bring a thermal base layer.
🌧️ 33% chance of rain — a waterproof jacket is a must.
