Boca del Lobo Trail (Lanzahíta) 2027

Lanzahíta is a village in the Tiétar valley, on the warm southern side of the Sierra de Gredos, where chestnut groves, figs and olives grow on the lower slopes. Its trail race, Boca del Lobo (wolf’s mouth), reaches its 3rd edition on Saturday 31 October 2026. It’s organised by Lanzahíta town council with the local mountain club Club Monte 12.

What the course looked like in 2025

Full details for 2026 haven’t been published yet. The 2025 edition offered two races:

	Distance	Climb
Trail Running	22.66 km	+834 m
Speed Trail	12.52 km	+488 m

The long race started at 10:00 with a 4 h 30 min time limit. With under 900 m of climbing over 22 km, it’s a moderate mountain race, a good step up if you’ve done a few shorter trails. The organisers published GPS tracks of both routes on the town council website.

Why the date works

31 October is the Saturday before All Saints’ Day (1 November), a public holiday. Lanzahíta is about two hours from Madrid by car through the Tiétar valley. You can run on Saturday and still have the rest of the long weekend.

Before you plan

The town council announced the date early in the year, but prices, start times and the entry platform for 2026 hadn’t been published when we wrote this. The 2025 entries were handled through RunRunSports. Check the Ayuntamiento de Lanzahíta website and social media for the 2026 details. Late-October mornings in Gredos can be cold even when afternoons are mild, so bring layers for before and after the race.
