Transvulcania 2026

Get ready to heat up your legs on the burning lands of an island that truly lives up to its name! 🌋 If Frodo Baggins had to throw the ring into a volcano, he would surely have chosen the starting line of the legendary Transvulcania. Forget leisurely walks by the sea, we're taking you to one of the most spectacular ultra-trails on the planet 🌍.

Head to Spain, and more precisely the Canary Islands archipelago on the stunning island of La Palma 🇪🇸. In the middle of May, the event offers you three formats to heat up your trail shoes 📅. The Ultramarathon is the king of the party with its 73 km and 4,350 mD+ of pure volcanic madness ⛰️. Those who prefer shorter distances can choose between a Marathon of 43.20 km with 1,884 mD+ and an explosive Half Marathon of about 24.8 km for 2,097 mD+ 📏.

The running course profile is a true outdoor geology lesson 🪨. You will face a terrain of rare demand, with loose black sand, sharp volcanic rocks, and dizzying ridges. The ascent to Roque de los Muchachos, at over 2,300 meters altitude, will make you feel like you're walking on the moon, a bit like in the movie The Martian 🚀.

The atmosphere on "la Isla Bonita" is simply indescribable and borders on collective hysteria 📢. The locals live for this race and crowd the trails to shout encouragements that give you chills 🎶. The organization is well-prepared to manage this international crowd on sometimes inaccessible paths 🚁. After the effort, a good recovery session on the black sand beaches is an experience you must have at least once in your life 🌊.

So, are you packing your hydration bag and coming to challenge the elements on the roof of the Canaries? 🎒 Don't miss your chance to become a true legend of lava and rock! 🏆
