About this race
Trail el Tanque is a mountain race held in Erjos, within El Tanque municipality on Tenerife. Typically taking place in November with a morning start, it provides trail running options of approximately 11 and 21 kilometers. The event is coordinated by the local council and island race organizers, such as Gesport Canarias and groups associated with Trail el Tanque.
Both races commence from Erjos village center, utilizing local trails, farm tracks, and protected mountain zones. The longer route crosses areas including the Corona Forestal and the El Chinyero Natural Reserve, offering runners volcanic terrain and forested high-country paths instead of a basic road circuit. This race stands as one of the established mountain events in the Canary Islands, attracting hundreds of participants from across Tenerife, with limits on entry numbers that maintain manageable field sizes for each distance.
