Castelló d'Empúries (Girona, Catalonia, Spain)
106 km / 60 km
Every spring, the Penyagolosa Trails link the Mediterranean coast of Castellón to the inland mountains, in the Valencian Community. The main course starts in Castelló de la Plana and heads into the hinterland on centuries-old pilgrimage trails, up to the sanctuary of Sant Joan de Penyagolosa, at the foot of Penyagolosa, the province's iconic peak. Dry-stone terraces, hilltop villages, pine forests and old farmhouses line terrain that is varied and runnable in places, but demanding over time.
Two main formats, an ultra and a shorter distance, share these historic paths in a very local atmosphere. Listed among the UTMB® Index races, the event offers routes between sea and mountain and ranks among the most authentic ultra trail races in Spain.
