Departure time: 6:00 a.m. – Departure by starting blocks.
The route begins at the Refugio de El Pilar Recreation Area (El Paso) at an altitude of 1,450 meters, and continues along the GR 131 Long Distance Trail – Ruta del Bastón, until it reaches Puerto de Tazacorte, where the race ends at sea level, next to the beach.
With a total distance of 43.20 km and 1,884 meters of accumulated elevation gain and 3,329 meters of accumulated elevation loss, this type of race requires special physical conditioning because the final part of the route descends from the highest point on the island, Roque de Los Muchachos (2,426 meters above sea level), to sea level (Puerto de Tazacorte Beach). Participants should take this into account in their training programs.
