Gualba Trail (Montseny) 2026

Gualba is a small village at the foot of the Montseny massif, between Barcelona and Girona. Its trail race is a community event. The 12th Gualba Trail is on Sunday 22 November 2026, with the village council, the Diputació de Barcelona, local businesses, the forest-fire volunteers (ADF) and the forest landowners all involved. It’s a charity race: after costs, all the entry money goes to Gualba Solidària and the Associació Neurològica Baix Montseny.

Three routes

	Distance	Climb	Start	Limit	Entry
Gualba Trail	21 km	+1,300 m	9:00	4 h 30 min	€23
Speed Trail	12 km	+800 m	9:30	3 h 30 min	€18
Walk Trail (non-competitive)	about 10 km	–	9:45	3 h 30 min	€13

Both runs are steep: over 60 m of climbing per kilometre. The two competitive races are for adults only. The walk has no age limit, although under-18s need a signed authorisation and under-14s must stay with an adult. New for 2026: dogs can join the Walk Trail, on a lead and muzzled if they’re a legally listed breed.

Small field, so enter early

The event is capped at 450 in total, about 150 per route. Add €2 unless you have a FEEC mountain federation licence or ITRA insurance, and show proof when you collect your bib. Entries are on RockTheSport until 15 November. Refunds are 40% until 15 days before, and nothing after that. Bib transfers are also possible until then.

Race day

• Bibs from 7:00 at the Masia de Can Figueres (Carrer Eugeni d’Ors 39), which is also the start and finish, until half an hour before each start.
• Parking at the village entrance by the health centre, or at Can Figueres until 8:30, when it closes for safety.
• Aid stations on course and at the finish, with water, isotonic drinks, fruit, nuts and sweets, but no cups.
• Showers at the Escola Aqua Alba afterwards.

Prizes go to the top three men and women on each run, plus the first veteran, master and local.
