Marathon of the Madmen 2026

The Marathon dels Dements is your must-do meet-up to take on the wild terrain of Eslida, in the heart of the Valencian Community: an adventure that smells of pine forest, rock, and freedom🌲.

Here, you’re not coming to “just” run 42 km: you’re coming to let yourself be swept up by terrain that plays with you, between forests, ridgelines, and panoramas that make you lift your head even when your legs start arguing ⛰️.

And after the effort, you keep the journey going: go check out the Castillo de Eslida for a view that’s well worth the detour, head on to the Serra d’Espadà Natural Park for a relaxed family walk, and treat yourself to a moment in Aín, a charming neighboring village where you can wrap up with a drink on a terrace🍷.

You’ll suffer just enough, have a little laugh at the name, and head home with your head full of images—and the urge to come back! 🏁
