This coming weekend sees the return of the mountain race, Granadella Trail, which this year celebrates its 9th edition.
At 9:00 a.m. on Sunday, February 5th, a total of 650 athletes and nearly 100 volunteers will start the day with this special challenge in Javea.
The popular Granadella Trail attracts top level athletes from all corners of Spain. This year the runners include Antonio Martínez and Júlia Font.
The Tour
For adults there will be two distances, “one of 14km for those who are just starting out and another of 26km, somewhat longer than other years, which were 21km, because they have now had to adapt the route to federation test requirements.
Sustainability and Solidarity
It should also be noted that the Granadella Trail follows its sustainable and environmentally friendly course, which is why the number of participants is limited to around 600. In addition, the trophy is made from a part of the pine trunk, which symbolizes the memory of the fire that this place suffered a few years ago.
As for the solidarity part, and as usual, an economic part of the athlete’s registration will be allocated to the Jávea Red Cross and Civil Protection, groups that will also ensure the safety of the runners during the test.
Mini Trail

From Barrufets to Cadets – they will be able to participate in the different routes that the Llebeig Club has prepared for each of the categories.
