A high-altitude mountain trail race crossing volcanoes, pine forests, and coastal paths from sea level up to Teide National Park.

What this race demands

This 110-kilometer mountain trail race demands exceptional climbing endurance and sustained structural durability to manage 6,250 meters of elevation change across extreme high-altitude terrain.

Climbing and descending volume

Covering 6,250 meters of elevation gain across 110 kilometers requires continuous muscular engagement to efficiently hike steep ascents and absorb high-impact forces on long descents.

High-altitude tolerance

Reaching Teide National Park places significant physiological stress on the cardiovascular system due to the reduced oxygen availability at high elevations.

Extended muscular durability

The ultra-distance format subjects the lower limbs to prolonged eccentric loading, demanding robust structural resilience to maintain forward progress over many hours.

A sustained effort of this duration requires consistent carbohydrate intake of 60 to 90 grams per hour to maintain energy availability and support metabolic stability.
