Bocairent Trail 2027

Bocairent is one of the most striking villages in inland Valencia. Its medieval centre climbs a rock above a ravine, and its cliffs are dotted with the Covetes dels Moros, man-made cave windows. The 11th Bocairent Trail heads from here into the Serra de Mariola natural park on Sunday 25 October 2026. It’s organised by the Ajuntament de Bocairent.

Three routes

	Distance	Climb	Start
Trail	22 km	+1,100 m	9:00
Sprintrail	13 km	+650 m	9:10
Walk (non-competitive)	11 km	+500 m	9:10, behind the runners

All three start and finish at Parc de l’Estació, and most of each route is inside the natural park. The regulations list the long race as 22 km, and the entry page calls it the 23k.

Cut-offs and self-sufficiency

• Long-race runners who don’t reach km 12 within 2 hours can be pulled out.
• The finish closes at 13:30, giving the long race 4 h 30 min.
• It’s a semi-self-sufficient race. Aid stations have food and drink but no plastic cups, so carry your own cup or bottle.
• A windproof jacket, waterproof or survival blanket may become mandatory kit if the weather turns, and the organisers will announce it beforehand.
• Littering outside the aid station areas means disqualification.

Entry

• €23 online (Mychip / RockTheSport) until 21 October at 20:00, or €25 on the day up to half an hour before the start, if places remain.
• A maximum of 600 participants across all three routes.
• €1 from every entry goes to a local charity cause, and there’s a Dorsal 0 for extra donations.
• The long race is for adults. The Sprintrail is open from 14 with parental consent, and minors on the walk must be accompanied.

Bibs

• Saturday 24 October, 17:30–20:00, at Parc de l’Estació.
• Sunday from 7:30 until half an hour before the start.

Bocairent is about 1 h 15 min from Valencia and an hour from Alicante. Arrive early enough to see the old town before your warm-up.
