San Andrés Trail 2026

San Andrés Trail is a Canary Islands trail race held in San Andrés, within Spain’s Province of Santa Cruz de Tenerife. It offers runners two mountain routes: an 11 km course and a 17.2 km course. The longer race is considered a 20k-style challenge, featuring 889 m of elevation gain. The event is categorized as trail, nature, mountain, and island running, with the 17.2 km distance also contributing to the UTMB Index. This race is suited for participants seeking genuine off-road terrain, distinct from road races with minor unpaved sections. The course crosses wild trails with varied surfaces, demanding good-grip footwear, precise footing, and strategic pacing, particularly on challenging ascents and descents. The organizer’s motto, “the challenge is king and adventure is queen,” reflects the intended audience: mountain runners pursuing a demanding effort, intense experiences, and a communal outing with fellow trail enthusiasts.
