Transgrancanaria: Mountain and trekking ultramarathon

Gran Canaria, nearly half the territory of which is a UNESCO-designated Biosphere Reserve, has hosted this endurance race since 2003.

The route of the competition crosses the centre of Gran Canaria island, passing fantastic volcanic scenery for 125 kilometres. The itinerary includes an accumulated change in level of 7500 metres and requires 24 to 30 hours to be completed. In addition to the long Transgrancanaria race, runners can participate in other shorter modalities, ranging from 15 to 82 kilometres.
