Trail Races in March in Spain 2026
March marks the start of the trail running peak season in Spain. Temperatures begin to rise, days grow longer and the mountains come alive with the arrival of spring. It is one of the months with the most races on the calendar, especially in the southern half of the country where conditions are already spring-like. Courses are at their best: dry but not dusty trails, green vegetation, streams with water and temperatures that allow comfortable running without excessive heat or cold. Many runners plan their first major season objectives in March, capitalising on peak fitness after the winter preparation months.

Tips
Pollen allergies start in March: if you are sensitive, carry antihistamine and consider a buff to cover nose and mouth.
Days are longer but mornings still cool: a thin thermal base layer under your race shirt can make the difference.
Pine processionary caterpillars are active in March: avoid touching nests and keep distance from caterpillars on the trail.
