Pyrenees Trail Races 2026
The Pyrenees are the ultimate stage for trail running in Spain. A mountain range crossing three autonomous communities (Aragon, Catalonia, and Navarre) offering everything a mountain runner could want: glacial valleys, peaks over 3,000 meters, ancient GR trails, and a tradition of mountain racing going back decades. From Val d'Aran to the Navarrese Pyrenees, Pyrenean races combine extreme altitude with postcard-perfect landscapes. Here you'll find races in the heart of the Pyrenees, with their complete Pack 360 including specific logistics (many starts are in high-mountain villages with limited access), mandatory gear adapted to altitude, and accommodation recommendations in the nearest valleys.
