Trail Costa Brava is a trail-running event held in March in Palamós, located on Spain’s Costa Brava in Girona, Catalonia. Participants can select from various distances, ranging from a short Express race to an ultra. The listed options span approximately 13 to 80 kilometers, featuring a marathon-distance route, a 22-kilometer trail race, and a 14-kilometer option.
The routes traverse coastal paths, coves, cliffs, and Mediterranean forest, offering a more rugged terrain compared to a flat seaside run. The marathon route includes around 2,100 meters of elevation gain and is worth 2 ITRA points. The mid-distance race has approximately 880 meters of gain, and the Express route about 330 meters. Close to 1,500 runners participate in Palamós, and the event is part of the UTMB Index, aiding trail runners in tracking qualification and performance in mountain races.
