Trail Algar de Palancia 2026

The Trail Algar de Palancia is a December trail running event in Algar de Palancia, Valencia province, Spain. It features a mountain race of approximately 20 to 21 km and a shorter Sprint Trail of about 10 to 11 km. Both races begin and conclude at the municipal swimming pool facilities. The longer race has a 4.5-hour time limit, with a cutoff at 11 km after 2 hours 15 minutes. The Sprint Trail allows 3 hours, and its pace permits completion by hiking. The routes primarily follow mountain paths and tracks surrounding Algar de Palancia, marking it as a genuine local trail event. Both distances are timed competitions with classifications and trophies awarded by category. The shorter option provides a practical entry point for walkers and novice trail runners. Bibs and timing chips are typically distributed the afternoon before and on race morning. The event has occurred at least five times, with the Sprint Trail introduced later as a distinct, shorter race.
