Our newest race to be added to our portfolio of races. The Spanish 24hr Ultra Race is of an extreme nature, covering 126kms in searing temperatures over mountainous terrain in just 24 hours.

Contestants will be completely self reliant from the start of the race until the end, and will need to carry their food and equipment on their backs. Water stations and medical tents will be provided at 20km intervals along the route. Temperatures are expected to be in the region of min 5ºc / max 40 ºc but could be more extreme.
