Costa Blanca Trails is a mountain trail running event based in Finestrat that traverses the Aitana, Puig Campana, and La Serrella ranges across several distances up to 102 km.
What this race demands
The Costa Blanca Trail 102 km demands severe structural durability and sustained climbing capacity across 6020 meters of mountain terrain in November.
Extreme climbing volume
Accumulating 6020 meters of elevation gain over 102 km requires continuous upward locomotion and significant muscular force production in the lower limbs.
Descent durability
Traversing the Aitana, Puig Campana, and La Serrella ranges involves prolonged eccentric loading on downhills, demanding exceptional joint and muscle resilience.
Pacing discipline
The ultra-distance format requires strict energy management to preserve glycogen stores and muscle integrity across many hours of mountain terrain.
Given the ultra-endurance duration, athletes should target 60 to 90 grams of carbohydrates per hour to sustain energy levels throughout the event.
