Trail reventón El Paso: an epic mountain challenge in La Palma
The Marathon is, without a doubt, the star and most spectacular test of Reventón El Paso. This race offers participants a stunning variety of landscapes and contrasts of La Palma. Runners will face challenging technical zones in the high summits, followed by rapid tracks in lower areas. Throughout their journey, athletes will traverse trails cutting through the characteristic Canarian pine forests.
Moreover, this unique race has the privilege of running through the Caldera de Taburiente National Park and the Cumbre Vieja Natural Park. This means runners will have the chance to race mere meters away from the Tajogaite volcano, the youngest in Europe, taking in spectacular and unique landscapes.
