I Ultra 100K Sierra de Gata

The Sierra de Gata is set to unveil an epic mountain adventure with the debut of the Ultra 100K Sierra de Gata, scheduled for April 10, 2027. Nestled within one of Extremadura's most breathtaking natural landscapes, this inaugural event aims to merge sport, culture, and local heritage into a unique experience.
The organizers envision more than just a sporting challenge; they seek to create an immersive journey that celebrates the essence of Sierra de Gata’s rugged terrain and charming villages. Participants will traverse through pristine wilderness, passing by traditional hamlets and ancient trails while immersing themselves in the rich cultural tapestry woven throughout this region.
Competitors can choose between two distances: a grueling 100K Ultra race that promises to test endurance over diverse terrains, or a more accessible but equally scenic Trail 20K option. Both routes showcase the stunning beauty of Sierra de Gata's mountains and valleys, offering runners an unforgettable blend of physical challenge and spiritual rejuvenation.
This inaugural edition will not only highlight the natural splendor but also underscore the importance of preserving this unique environment for future generations to enjoy. As participants navigate through winding paths and steep ascents, they'll be greeted by panoramic vistas that encapsulate the pure essence of mountain running in Spain’s Extremadura region.
The Ultra 100K Sierra de Gata is poised to become a cornerstone event on the global trail running calendar, attracting athletes from around the world who seek an authentic and challenging experience amidst some of Europe's most pristine wilderness.
