Official event pageWhat this race demands
Gomera Paradise Trail requires relentless climbing and descending over rugged terrain across a 30 km mountain course with substantial elevation change.
Climbing volume
Gaining 2,536 meters of elevation over 30 kilometers creates a steep average gradient that demands significant vertical endurance and muscular strength.
Technical descending
The rugged Canarian trail setting requires sustained ability to navigate technical mountain terrain under fatigue.
Muscular durability
The combination of steep ascents and heavy descents places high eccentric and concentric loading on the lower limbs over several hours of mountain running.
A duration exceeding 2.5 hours requires consistent intake of 60 to 90 grams of carbohydrates per hour to maintain output across the mountain terrain.
Estimated finish times
Estimates by level, not promises. Your own number depends on your fitness on the day.
