Beginner Trail Races in Spain 2026 (Page 2)
Thinking about your first trail race? You don't need to start with a 100 km ultra through the Pyrenees. Spain has dozens of mountain races designed for runners making the leap from road running or looking for manageable distances in a natural setting. We've selected races with beginner and intermediate difficulty: well-marked courses, progressive elevation gain, and distances ranging from 10 km to the mountain marathon. Many of them offer shorter distances within the same event, so you can try without commitment. Each race comes with its complete Pack 360 — everything you need from registration to gear, accommodation, and race-day nutrition. Your first mountain is waiting.
