El Privilegio 100 Millas: an ultra trail in the footsteps of Ciudad Real's history

In Castilla-La Mancha, El Privilegio 100 Millas links the Castle of Montalbán, in the province of Toledo, to the Puerta de Toledo in Ciudad Real every autumn. The race retraces the route of the royal courier of 1420, a story that ranks it among the races most steeped in culture and history: having taken refuge in Montalbán, King John II of Castile rewarded Villa Real for its help with a royal privilege that made it a city, Ciudad Real.

Over 100 miles across the Montes de Toledo, the challenge lies less in the elevation gain than in the night, the solitude and the semi self-sufficiency. Alongside the flagship race, the El Privilegio formats include a relay, a Nordic walking version, an intermediate distance and a short trail, and the longest ones are part of the UTMB® Index races.
