Trail Races in December in Spain 2026
December closes the year with the last races on the calendar and a special spirit: many events have a festive and charitable character, with charity runs and end-of-season celebrations. Winter conditions limit offerings in high-mountain areas, but the Mediterranean coast, Canary Islands and southern Spain maintain races with manageable temperatures. For runners who do not stop in winter, December offers the chance to maintain fitness, try new routes and close the season with good feelings. It is also the perfect time to plan next season and choose your goals for the new year.
