The event in a few words

We hope you're ready to break the record in this race, as it is held by...Kilian Jornet, the king of ultra-trail 👑. In 2021, he conquered the Salomon Ultra Pirineu 100K in just over 10 hours ⏰. Rest assured, we don’t expect as much from you (if you finish, it's already very impressive 💪). So for now, sit comfortably and discover this legendary race in Catalonia, in the northeast of Spain 🇪🇸. 

Head to Bagà, a small mountain village that becomes, for one October weekend, the base camp for lovers of elevation gain 😍. Here, the high Catalan mountains are the boss 🫡. You will have to deal with its sharp ridges, technical trails, and breathtaking landscapes 💨. Welcome to the Salomon Ultra Pirineu, one of the most iconic trails in Europe, attracting each year enthusiasts from all over the world 🌍. The crown jewel is the Salomon Ultra Pirineu 100K, a beast of 100 kilometers and 6600 mD+ 📈 that will take you through the most iconic areas of the Cadí-Moixeró Natural Park. On this distance, there’s no room for improvisation: it’s one of the most demanding races in Spain 🥵. We advise you to start serious preparation if you want to challenge the record of 10h25 set by the living legend Kilian Jornet ⚡️. If you prefer a more "reasonable" format (everything is relative 😬) you can aim for the Marató Pirineu 42K, a mountain marathon with 2700 mD+. This route is a snapshot of the most spectacular views in the Cadí-Moixeró Natural Park, such as Niu de l’Àliga, Penyes Altes, or Empedrats 🤩. If 42 km is still long for you but you still want a taste of the adventure, there’s the 21 km 🙌. With its 1,200 mD+, it offers breathtaking views of the Ensija Range and the Comabona ⛰️. You will also have the opportunity to observe the mythical Pedraforca, easily recognizable by its two peaks reaching for the sky 🪨. It’s indeed the most famous summit in Catalonia 📸. For adrenaline junkies, there’s the Molina Nit Pirineu KV : 5 km and 860 mD+ for the joy sorrow of your legs your eyes 👀. This (somewhat barbaric, we admit) course starts from the La Molina ski station to the Niu de l’Àliga refuge, located at 2,520 meters altitude ⬆️. At the top, you can observe the Cerdagne, Ripollès and the Berguedà 🔍 valleys. Children are not left out, as the mini-trailers can take part in the XS Pirineu 👶. In total, 6 distances are offered according to their ages, ranging from 1 to 6 km 🤓.

A piece of advice, don’t just make a quick trip for this race! ❌ You’re in the heart of the Alt Pirineu Natural Park, the largest in all of Catalonia, with its nearly 70,000 hectares of forests, peaks, and trails 🥾. Your playground during the race is also a paradise for more relaxed hiking🚶. After your trail, go for a walk to the Pedraforca, the Catalans' favorite mountain (and you'll understand why 🤤). You can also explore the charming village of Gósol, where Pablo Picasso was inspired in his early days 🧑‍🎨. To place your bag, you don’t need to search far: in Bagà, the best option is the Zona Tipi, a tipi campsite ⛺️ located just 200 meters from the village center of the race 🏘️. You won’t be disappointed with the gastronomy either! Once settled in a local restaurant, try a suquet de peix, some mandonguilles or a fideuada, a fisherman's seafood dish 🍤.

Run in the footsteps of Kilian Jornet 👑

Challenge yourself in the real high mountains ⛰️
This race is not a walk in the park ❌. With 6600 m of ascent over 100 km, a marathon with 2700 m of climbing, or a 21 km that really bites, you will see what "gaining altitude" truly means 😍. And at the summit, the view will reward you.
