guara somontano trail 2025

Ultra Trail Guara Somontano: heat management and the Aragonese terrain

When I signed up for the Guara Somontano Trail 2025, I knew it was going to be a tough challenge. However, I underestimated how brutal the heat and rocky sections could be, even in October. This race through the heart of Aragón isn’t just a test of endurance — it’s a real battle of strategy, patience, and body awareness. Today, I want to share what worked for me and what I would do differently, in case you’re planning to toe the line in Alquézar this year. What makes the Guara Somontano Trail unique First off, the Guara Somontano Trail 2025 is not just another 100K mountain race. Spanning 102 kilometers with around 5,400 meters of elevation gain, it offers everything from canyon views to technical

Adamello Ultra Trail – the hidden alpine challenge of the September calendar

The Adamello Ultra Trail 2024 was, without a doubt, one of the most demanding and rewarding races I’ve ever attempted. Right from the first kilometer, I knew I was in for something different—something more than just a physical test. This race, often overshadowed by bigger names on the September calendar, delivers a raw and authentic alpine experience that’s perfect for runners who thrive in rugged terrain and silence. A race carved into alpine history Based in Ponte di Legno, a picturesque mountain town in Lombardy, Italy, the Adamello Ultra Trail 2025 offers multiple distances—170 km, 100 km, and 35 km. I ran the 100 km option, which was plenty to get a full taste of the course’s wild beauty and brutal honesty. The route traverses

100th Andorra UTMB 2025

The 100th by UTMB (Andorra) – How to face the Pyrenean altitude

I’ll never forget the first time I toed the start line of the 100th Andorra UTMB 2025. At that moment, I thought I was ready. My legs were trained, my gear was dialed in, and I had scouted the route online at least a dozen times. But nothing—absolutely nothing—can prepare you for the way the Pyrenees test every inch of your body and mind. Over 105 km, the terrain pushes you into steep ascents, exposed ridgelines, and hauntingly beautiful valleys that steal your breath, both figuratively and literally. In this article, I want to share what I learned from this incredible adventure: key strategies for acclimatization, how to manage altitude effectively, and technical highlights that make this course one of the most challenging yet rewarding

Whalers' Great Route trail

Whalers’ Great Route trail race: Faial’s whaling history and culture

From the very first step of the Whalers’ Great Route trail race, I felt like I was running through pages of Azorean history. This wasn’t just another trail event—it was a visceral encounter with the island of Faial’s deep-rooted connection to the ocean, whaling heritage, and cultural resilience. Each ascent, viewpoint, and coastal descent told a story, echoing the legacy of the whalers who once braved the Atlantic from this volcanic gem in the Azores. Running through time: a route marked by history Before diving into the race itself, it’s worth understanding where we are running. Faial, a small island in the central group of the Azores, might seem unassuming at first glance. However, its past is anything but quiet. From the 18th to the
