Transvulcania 2027

Transvulcania 2027 takes place in La Palma, Canary Islands, Spain: May 6 – 8, 2027. Add it to your calendar from the top of this page so you don’t miss it.

Transvulcania takes place in La Palma, Canary Islands, Spain. There are 8 other trail races within 250 km, shown on the map, if you want to combine them in one trip.

Transvulcania has 3 distances: 24K, 43K, and 73K. The longest is the 73K.

No: Transvulcania is an independent race, not part of a circuit such as the UTMB World Series or the Golden Trail Series.

For the 73K, plan around 20 weeks of specific training if you already run regularly. For the 24K, about 12 weeks are enough. Build up long runs with climbing and add two short strength sessions a week.

It is a technical mountain race: expect rocky trails and steep descents, so train on similar terrain.

For its technical terrain, choose shoes with deep lugs and good protection and enough cushioning for the distance. Good options: Hoka Mafate 5, Nike ACG Zegama Trail, and Altra Olympus 7. You will find them, and the rest of the gear, in “How to prepare” below.

Registration is on the official website (transvulcania.es). Popular races sell out, so check the dates early, and mark it as “I want to register” at the top of this page to keep it in your races.
