La Pretoriana 2026

La Pretoriana is a 50 km trail ultramarathon in the province of Seville. It starts in the pine forests of Aznalcázar and finishes in the center of Tomares. Run in November, it gives runners up to 9 hours to complete the course, making it feel more like a long test of endurance than a fast road race. The event is a popular, non-competitive race on the Seville running calendar, with options and guidance for people who may mix running and walking to reach the finish. The route moves from wooded terrain toward an urban finish, offering a clear point-to-point journey rather than a simple loop. La Pretoriana embraces a Roman-legion identity, with mottos such as “We don't compete. We conquer,” “United by distance, driven by honor,” and “Run. Endure. Conquer.” The race emphasizes teamwork over ranking, with the idea that when one runner struggles, the others support them. Special accommodation is offered for participants, and Fundación Caja Rural del Sur is listed as a main sponsor.
