Welcome to paradise! The Balearic Islands are one of the most popular places in Spain, known as the must-stop for tourists. This archipelago of 4 islands ๐ is full of sumptuous and exotic places.
It is in Menorca that we propose you to lay your bags for the time of a race in a breathtaking setting with the October Trail. Among the 4 islands, Menorca is the least frequented but often preferred for its rejuvenating atmosphere. The island offers a nature setting with preserved flora ๐ผ and a very varied fauna ๐. It was even declared a biosphere reserve by Unesco in 1993.
You've got it, these are magnificent places that you will have the chance to discover during this beautiful event in the month of October. Yes, as the name suggests, this race takes place *๐ฅdrum roll๐ฅ* in October. While the first waves of cold can be felt and you are pulling out your sweaters, the mild and pleasant climate of Menorca will allow you to run with bare legs and maybe even arms in the wind! ๐โโ๏ธ
Now that we've whetted your appetite to taste the flavor of Menorca, let us captivate you with the presentation of the race. On the menu, 3 distances: 11 km, 19 km, and 32 km for all levels. Your route will allow you to immerse yourself in the island's nature through wild trails in the forests of pine ๐ฒ and along the cliffs ๐งโโ๏ธ with a view of the vastness. You will also be able to run on the fine sand of the paradisiacal beaches ๐, we admit it's a bit challenging but the setting is well worth the detour. ๐
The event does not end after the race, because once you cross the finish line, the party is just getting started ๐. You can enjoy many musical animations ๐ฅ and a food buffet ๐ฝ to replenish and celebrate your beautiful course and fully enjoy the experience.
Menorca island is the perfect place to escape into a heavenly parenthesis in the middle of the Mediterranean. After your race, you can stroll on the fine sandy beaches and swim in turquoise waters ๐.

The surrounding villages are also worth exploring, full of charm and shady streets, a real heavenly setting ๐. Gastronomically speaking, let yourself be tempted by the local specialties, from the list we recommend the sobrasada ๐ฅ, local charcuterie, or the Ensaimada ๐ฐ a mythical pastry (to be consumed in moderation) that will surely delight your taste buds. ๐
