SPAIN ULTRA CUP

SPAIN ULTRA CUP is a high-level competitive national circuit devised to allow trail runners to better know and enjoy the best ultra-trail races in Spain. The circuit is currently made of nine long-distance ultra-endurance races.

The organization teams supporting this powerful initiative are the ones managing, Ultra Sierra Nevada, Transgrancanaria HG, Penyagolosa Trails, Volta a Cerdanya, Gran trail Peñalara, Ultra Trail Guara Somontano, Haría Extreme and Apuko Extreme.

These nine races are all 80 km or longer. As proved in previous years, the circuit has achieved great success, thanks to the commitment of its organizers, who hope that, in the future, a number of renowned races can join the circuit.

Also, the Spain Ultra Cup has created a new trail running circuit modality: Spain Ultra Cup M.

The organization teams supporting this powerful initiative are the ones managing, Ultra Sierra Nevada, Transgrancanaria HG, Penyagolosa Trails, Volta a Cerdanya, Haría Extreme,Apuko Extreme and UCAM Falco Trail.

These seven races are all between 40 km and 69 kms. As proved in previous years, the circuit has achieved great success, thanks to the commitment of its organizers, who hope that, in the future, a number of renowned races can join the circuit.

The Spain Ultra Cup has been acknowledged and given wide support by the International Trail Running Association (ITRA).

The circuit aims to offer trail runners coming from all around the world the opportunity to tackle exciting courses where they can discover and enjoy some of the most breathtakingly beautiful mountain landscapes in Spain—the Sierra Nevada, the Sierra de Guadarrama, the Pyrinees, the Roque Nublo, the Alt Maestrat, and the Sierra de Guara.

By completing a course, participants will receive points for the Spain Ultra Cup ranking list. The number of points awarded is proportional to the place that they finish the race in, and the competition level of the course. At the end of the year, they will be awarded a place in the annual ranking list according to their best three finishing times. The runners standing atop the ranking will be deemed Female and Male Spain Ultra Cup champions.
