About the event

Ultra Sierra Nevada invites runners to embark on an extraordinary journey through some of Spain's most awe-inspiring natural terrain. Spanning approximately 100 kilometers, this grueling race begins in the historic city of Granada and culminates at Pradollano ski resort, offering a challenging ascent that tests both body and mind.
The route meanders along forest paths and rugged mountain trails, leading runners to the summit of Veleta Peak, which stands majestically at 3,100 meters above sea level. This ultra marathon is not only one of the highest-altitude races in Europe but also a recognized contender among the toughest endurance events on the continent.
Participants will traverse diverse landscapes, from dense forests and rocky outcrops to breathtaking vistas that showcase Sierra Nevada's natural beauty at its finest. The race presents an unparalleled opportunity for runners to immerse themselves in the serenity of nature while pushing their physical boundaries further than ever before.
As they ascend towards Veleta Peak, competitors are rewarded with panoramic views that encapsulate the grandeur and raw power of this mountain range. This is a true test of endurance, strength, and mental fortitude – one where runners must summon every ounce of determination to reach the summit and complete their journey.
The Ultra Sierra Nevada stands as a testament to human perseverance in some of Europe's most demanding terrain, making it an unforgettable experience for those who dare to take on this formidable challenge.
