Cursa de Muntanya de Castelltallat 2026

The Cursa de Muntanya de Castelltallat is a memorial mountain race for Laura Ferrer, held in Castelltallat, within Spain’s Bages region. It begins at 10 a.m. and provides two trail choices: a 5 km route and a 14 to 14.5 km course. This event is included in the Maqui Championship, a series of rural mountain races in Bages. The longer route includes approximately 300 meters of elevation gain and a time limit of two and a half hours. The shorter route has about 150 meters of climbing. Recent years have introduced new segments to the courses, offering variation for returning participants. The race emphasizes pure trail running: rugged, local, and centered on navigating the hills rather than optimizing for speed. It has been held at least twelve times, establishing a local tradition without the feel of a large-scale event.
