SUNSET TRAIL 2026

Sunset Trail takes runners along preserved coastal paths in Palamós, on Spain’s Costa Brava. Race information places it in the warmer months, with spring or mid-summer timing varying by source, and categorizes it as a mountain and nature trail event, distinct from road races. The published distances show some variation: certain listings specify a 16 km trail, while organizer materials also mention a 20k option. This suggests the series focuses on short-to-middle-distance trail running, not ultra-distance events. The course profile indicates approximately 500 metres of climbing and 500 metres of descent, making it hilly but not an all-day mountain challenge. The route crosses natural, protected areas near Palamós, and the event welcomes trail runners of various skill levels, not exclusively seasoned mountain racers. It is also featured on the UTMB Index race list, relevant for participants accumulating qualifying results. The sunset theme is directly reflected in the race's identity, with event descriptions guiding runners toward the Costa Brava coastline and its evening light.
