Hivernal Panna el Bandoler 2026

Hivernal Panna el Bandoler directs runners and mountain bikers onto paths near Sant Martí de Tous, in Barcelona's Anoia region, where local lore recounts the bandit Panna. This non-competitive BTT and trail event incorporates family activities, focusing on sport, regional legends, and a deliberately irreverent spirit. The trail running course spans 17.5 km with approximately 800 m of elevation gain, making it short enough to seem accessible yet demanding enough for experienced mountain runners. The course follows rural tracks and tight trails through the Sant Martí de Tous landscape, featuring the climbs and rugged terrain characteristic of this inland Catalan area. Organized by the Comissió dels Pannes and the Ajuntament de Tous, this marks the event's twelfth year. Its folklore contributes to the enjoyment: organizers engage with stories of ancient spirits, mythical creatures, and woodland shadows, transforming the race into a playful ritual with unexpected elements.
