Europe’s trail race price map: how much does it cost to run?
Trail running has exploded across Europe, with hundreds of stunning courses and legendary events from the peaks of the Alps to the volcanic trails of the Canary Islands. But does the price to line up at the start vary as much as the terrain? Our comprehensive study analyzed over 200 races, from famous events like Marathon du Mont Blanc, Canfranc Canfranc, MIUT, Festival des Templiers, Maxi Race, Adamello Ultra Trail, Dolomiti Extreme, Montreux Trail Festival and many more, and compared their average registration fees at three popular distances with 24 UTMB® World Series races across Europe. Trail running isn’t equal. Unlike the uniform experience of road running, every trail race is shaped by its landscape, elevation, technical challenges, and local culture. Entry fees are just one
Damian Watson on Conquering the One Hundred® Ladakh Trail to Heaven
High in the Himalayas, where the air is thin and every step feels heavier than the last, lies a race that defies ordinary trail running. The One Hundred® Ladakh Trail to Heaven is not just a test of endurance — it’s a battle with altitude, terrain, and self. With passes rising above 5,000 metres, landscapes that shift from Mars-like valleys to snow-capped ridgelines, and a finish beneath the sacred gaze of a giant Buddha, this race is as much a pilgrimage as it is a competition. Among those who embraced the challenge was Damian Watson, a mountain-addicted who fought through the extremes to claim second place. We caught up with Damian to relive his journey — from the brutal climbs and raw beauty of Ladakh
Val d’Aran by UTMB 2026: How to prepare for it starting in autumn
When I first signed up for the Val d’Aran by UTMB 2026, I knew I was committing to more than just a race. This wasn’t going to be a last-minute, wing-it kind of ultra. To truly respect the mountains of the Aran Valley—and finish strong—I had to start planning way ahead. So, as soon as the leaves started to turn last autumn, I began laying out my roadmap. Let me walk you through my experience as a trailrunner and how I did it. Why autumn is the perfect time to start your UTMB journey Starting in autumn gave me a huge advantage. First of all, it allowed me to set realistic, long-term goals without the panic of an upcoming race. Furthermore, I could work on
Cami de Cavalls 360 (multi-stage) – why Menorca is perfect in autumn
When I signed up for the Cami de Cavalls 360 2025, I didn’t fully understand the kind of adventure I was stepping into. I had heard of Menorca’s beauty, of course, but experiencing the island by foot, across several days and terrains, took it to another level. The format I chose was Experience, and let me tell you—it lived up to its name in every sense. What makes this race unique isn’t just the circular route hugging the island’s perimeter, or the turquoise waters that flirt with your peripheral vision. It’s how well the multi-stage format balances physical challenge, mental resilience, and logistical ease. Autumn, I quickly discovered, is the sweet spot for this race. Why the Experience format offers the perfect rhythm The Experience
