Ganxotrail begins in Sant Feliu de Guíxols on a Sunday morning, with runners departing from Passeig de Rius i Calvet at 9:30. This is a coastal mountain race on the Costa Brava, offering route choices between 12 and 18 kilometers, placing it in the short trail-running category rather than the endurance ultra events.
The race concludes at the La Corxera parking lot, providing showers at the pavilion and physiotherapy services at the finish. The organizers emphasize the local Ardenya and Ganxó heritage, promising entertainment, drinks, and a gathering. They welcome those unfamiliar with the Ardenya, the Costa Brava, or the local Ganxons and Ganxones, sending participants off with the traditional saying “Health and legs!”
