Reventón Trail El Paso is a renowned mountain trail running event held annually on the volcanic island of La Palma, featuring multiple distances including a grueling ultra trail through scenic and rugged terrain.
What this race demands
Reventón Trail El Paso demands exceptional climbing endurance and structural durability to navigate over 8,000 meters of vertical gain across a 70.5 km volcanic mountain course.
Extreme Vertical Gain
Accumulating over 8,000 meters of elevation across 70.5 km requires sustained power output on steep ascents and immense muscular resilience to absorb heavy impact during descents.
Extended Duration
Covering ultra-distance mountain terrain demands robust aerobic endurance and pacing discipline to manage energy expenditure over many hours of continuous exertion.
Terrain Durability
Rugged volcanic terrain on La Palma places high stress on joints and stabilizing muscles, requiring specialized muscular endurance to maintain form throughout the event.
Given the ultra-endurance duration of this mountain event, athletes should target 60 to 90 grams of carbohydrates per hour to sustain energy levels.
