Desafío Cimas de Blanca Trail 2026

The Desafío Cimas de Blanca Trail begins and ends in the Plaza del Ayuntamiento in Blanca, Region of Murcia, Spain. Runners start in the morning, with the last finishers anticipated around noon. This mountain trail event is organized by Club Deportivo Blanca Telecanal2, with assistance from Blanca Town Council and the regional athletics federation, FAMU. Participants can choose from four options: competitive 25K, 16K, and 10K trail races, and a non-competitive 10K walk for those who prefer the route without the race element. The courses traverse the hills, paths, and viewpoints surrounding Blanca, offering vistas of the Segura River and the vicinity of Azud de Ojos. The 25K serves as the primary long-distance event, the 16K maintains a technical mountain character in a reduced distance, and the 10K provides a more approachable choice for less experienced trail runners. Approximately 600 participants took part in one edition, even with rain before the start and again towards the end of the morning. Luis Morata and Lucía Franco were the winners of the main race. Accounts from the event highlighted the demanding ascents and the mutual encouragement among runners when facing difficulties.
