Tenerife Bluetrail by UTMB
Running through a unique environment in the world
From sea level to 3,555 meters of altitude on Mount Teide, the highest peak in Spain and the third largest volcano on Earth. Welcome to Tenerife, the island that awakens emotions.
The race crosses the Teide National Park, declared a World Heritage Site by Unesco, in its 110k and 73k modalities
The Tenerife Bluetrail by UTMB is one of the most varied mountain races that exist both for the diversity of the landscapes through which it runs and for its technical demand. After 14 editions it has been crowned as one of the best mountain races in Europe and has become an icon for many athletes.
Few races offer the opportunity to start from the coast, run between rocks and volcanic cones, ascend between the irregular rocks of the badlands, take a break contemplating the island in its entirety from the summit of Mount Teide at 3,555 meters high and then descend vertiginously between pine forests and corners of laurel forest until reaching winding paths at the edge of the sea on the north coast of the island. During the race you can also observe the phenomenon of the 'sea of clouds', an impressive natural effect created by the trade winds that create an illusion from the summit of contemplating a calm and fluffy sea formed by clouds.
But the Tenerife race is not only about titans. In addition to the categories of 110k, 73k, 47k – together with the 47k Relay relay version – and the 24K that are part of the UTMB® World Series, it also has room for all kinds of amateur and professional athletes, of different ages and physical conditions. In addition, it has two exclusive modalities for people with some type of functional diversity, who can also enjoy the experience of participating in a unique sporting event.
It must be because of all these details that the Tenerife Bluetrail is called 'magical'.
