Transvulcania 2026 — Running the volcanic spine of La Palma
The Transvulcania Terrex returns for its XVI edition on 7, 8 and 9 May 2026 on the island of La Palma, the most northwestern of the Canary Islands. Created in 2009 by the Cabildo Insular de La Palma, this event has become one of the most prestigious and spectacular ultra-trail races on the planet. The 2026 edition is a milestone: both the Vertical Kilometer and the Half Marathon are part of the Mountain Running World Cup, bringing the world's best mountain specialists to the volcanic ridges of La Palma.
The crown jewel is the Ultramarathon — 73 km / D+4,350m — starting at sea level from the Faro de Fuencaliente lighthouse on the island's southern tip, following the legendary GR-131 (Ruta del Bastón) across a chain of volcanoes to the Roque de los Muchachos (2,420 m) before the long descent to Los Llanos de Aridane. Loose black volcanic sand, sharp lava rock, dizzying ridges and a sea of clouds below — there is nothing like it in world trail running.
"A demanding route in its most athletic part, enriched by extraordinary landscapes. The sunrise with the other islands in the distance is spectacular."
— Kilian Jornet, multiple Transvulcania winnerOfficial results & live timing — LiveTrail & YouTube

Organised by Cabildo Insular de La Palma / SODEPAL. Sustainability commitment: the event is actively working to reduce its environmental footprint on this UNESCO Biosphere Reserve island.

From Santa Cruz de La Palma to Los Llanos de Aridane: 30 km by car or bus. La Palma is a UNESCO World Biosphere Reserve and one of the Canary Islands' most unspoiled destinations — dramatic volcanic landscapes, lush laurel forests, stargazing (Roque de los Muchachos houses the world's largest astronomical observatory) and some of the clearest skies in the Northern Hemisphere.
