Buñol Trail 2027

Buñol is famous for the Tomatina, but the local athletics club, C.A. Correores de Buñol, also puts on a proper mountain race in the hills around town. The 11th Trail de Buñol is on Sunday 1 November 2026, with the town council’s support.

Three events

	Distance	Start	Entry
Trail	21 km	9:00	€25
Sprint trail	12 km, +436 m	9:30	€23
Walk	9 km	9:30, after the sprint	€16

The regulations headline the long race as 21 km and +1,000 m. The detailed data sheet, based on the 2025 track, gives +786 m with an altitude range of 334–639 m. Expect something in between depending on your watch.

Mostly singletrack

The long route is a circular course in mountain terrain, apart from about 2 km through the town. The 2025 breakdown was:

• Singletrack: 14.5 km (71%)
• Dirt track: 4.6 km
• Asphalt: 1.4 km

Roads aren’t closed. Volunteers control the crossings, including the CV-427, but you must follow traffic rules. The course is marked with reusable fabric tape and chalk, and there are distance signs every 4 km.

Cut-offs and aid

• Km 9.9 (climbing car park): you must pass by 11:00, two hours in.
• Finish: 4-hour limit (13:00).
• Aid stations: km 4.5 (La Serrana, by the hostel), km 9.9 (climbing car park), km 12.3 (Casa de Picota, drinks only) and km 16.9 (El Roquillo).
• No cups are provided. Carry a collapsible cup or reusable bottle. The food is unwrapped: bananas, dried fruit, salty crackers, chocolate and sweets.

Prizes and extras

Entry includes a commemorative windbreaker (you can buy a second for €16) and a runner’s bag. Registration closes on 29 October. Besides the usual age groups and local prizes, 2026 adds a mixed pairs category for couples who cross the line together. There’s also a prize for the fastest woman and man on the Strava segment down Monte Lacruz, so the downhill counts too.
