Trail Cap de Creus

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. I signed up seduced by its beauty—cliffs plunging into the Mediterranean, sunrises over the horizon, and technical trails winding through the Cap de Creus Natural Park. However, no picture or race profile had prepared me for the truth: in this race, the sea is both your best friend and your fiercest enemy. From the moment the starting gun echoed through Cadaqués, I felt the humid embrace of the coast wrap around my body. Although I had trained hard for the distance and elevation, I hadn’t properly accounted for the thermal challenge of a coastal ultra. In this article, I’ll share what I learned—both painfully

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
