The event in a few words

Trail runner or road runner, the playground remains the same! 🏞️ Head to Tossa de Mar, nestled between the sea and the mountains ⛰️. The Costa Brava is in the spotlight, giving your run a vacation vibe! 🤩 But that’s no excuse to stop for a drink at the refreshment stand 😂. It's tempting, we know 👀, especially as the Run Festival Tossa de Mar is the perfect event for some fun in the sun! 🎉 By the Mediterranean Sea 🌊, in the Catalonia region, lies a natural haven away from the crowds 🤫. Good news, this will be the setting for the races this Sunday in May: the Massif de Cadiretes, or Ardenya as some call it!

You have two ways to explore the massif 🤓: via the trails or by road! 🛣️ Here, all runners enjoy the same stunning sceneries overlooking the sea 🥰. The only difference is the distance ↔️. The farther you go, the more you’ll admire the beautiful beaches 🏖️, coves, and creeks lining the coast. Choose between 5 km, 10 km or 21 km on the pavement, or 8 km or 17 km through the woods! 🌳 You're guaranteed not to get lost along the routes 🧭, as there are out-and-backs for road races and loops for trail runs 🔄️. You'll appreciate the landscapes twice as much! 😎 The finish line will be easy to find, as the atmosphere will be hot 🔥. The Run Festival Tossa de Mar attracts hundreds of supporters 👏 in the town center and on the beaches to properly celebrate running! 🏆

And the festivities continue even after the event! 🥳 We know you'll give it your all during the race 🥵, so we're offering tips to relax and wind down your weekend in style, feet up 😝. Speaking of staying cool, you might want to grab a fan if you plan to sunbathe on the beach! 🪭 "Hace mucho calor en la playa de Tossa": that's a tip from the deckchair waiting for you at the water’s edge 🌞. To make the most of your day, dive into the local culture by visiting the medieval old town of Tossa de Mar and its castle 🏰.

Before running in summer festivals, come experience the Run Festival Tossa de Mar! 😉

4 reasons to join this race

The Cadiretes Massif ⛰️
This massif in the province of Girona covers almost the entire municipality of Tossa! Naturally, the event's courses will explore its roads and trails. Trail runners, you'll discover the natural coastline of the Costa Brava, with its typical Mediterranean wildlife! Road runners, the scenery won't be much different, but you won't have to worry about where to step! 🏃‍➡️ In both cases, get your sunglasses ready because you'll be dazzled by the stunning views! 🤩
The Costa Brava 🌊
Fine sandy beaches, hidden coves away from tourists, the sound of waves crashing on the rocks... Ahhh, you're already imagining it, right? But no, we're not talking about your next vacation on the Costa Brava, but about the Run Festival Tossa de Mar! It's in this paradise setting that you'll start your road race or trail. So, grab your camera and sunscreen; this event will give you a taste of a holiday getaway! 🌞
To Party On 🎉
As the name suggests, this event is a true festival! It's quite an enticing reason for attracting runners, especially when the race takes place on the Costa Brava. But first, you'll have to tackle your run before swapping your sneakers for flip-flops and your hydration pack for a beach bag filled with towels! 😂
Two Disciplines, One Event 😉
Road racing or trail running, it's time to choose! It's not every day you have an environment suitable for both disciplines, so make your decision wisely! Either way, you won't have any regrets, as the terrain is the same: the Cadiretes Massif. Maybe it's your chance to step out of your comfort zone and test a new playground? 👀
