Trail Races in October in Spain 2026

October paints Spain's trails with autumn colours and offers fantastic racing conditions. Temperatures are cool but pleasant, forests are at their chromatic peak and the days, though shorter, allow most races to be completed in daylight. It is a month with a high density of events across the territory: from the beech forests of the north to the Mediterranean sierras. October marks the start of the rainy season in many areas, which can make terrain more slippery and technical. For many runners it is the month to close the season, the last big objective before the winter rest.

For cold and dark miles

Headlamp, thermal layer and a good watch: what matters when daylight runs short.

Tips

Wet leaves on rock are extremely slippery: reduce pace on technical descents.

Days shorten quickly: if your race is long, carry a headlamp even if you think you will not need it.

October is perfect for breaking in new footwear — take the chance to test shoes for next season.
