Gareth Jones arriva quinto alla Beacons Way Ultra: intervista al nostro ambasciatore
L’ambasciatore di Trail Run Advisor, Gareth Jones, ha appena realizzato una performance stellare alla Beacons Way Ultra.Si è classificato quinto in una sfida di 100 miglia attraverso le aspre montagne del Galles. Lo abbiamo incontrato poco dopo la gara per saperne di più sulla sua esperienza: cosa lo ha spinto a superare i tratti più duri, come si è alimentato e quali sono le prossime tappe del suo calendario di ultra trail. Q1. Cosa ti ha ispirato ad affrontare questa sfida di 100 miglia e come ti sei preparato mentalmente e fisicamente per la gara?

Ultra del Trail Cap de Creus: the sea as both ally and enemy
There it was, the Trail Cap de Creus 2025, a name I had seen on forums and Instagram posts for months.

Ultra Trail Guara Somontano: heat management and the Aragonese terrain
When I signed up for the Guara Somontano Trail 2024, 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 2024 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
