La Adrada Trail 2027

The 2026 La Adrada Trail will not take place. The organisers have cancelled the 15th edition, planned for Sunday 18 October 2026, because of the forest fire that hit the area this summer. You can read their announcement in the Instagram post below.

If you had entered, look for messages from the organisers or the registration platform about what happens to your entry fee. Contact them directly at laadradatrail@laadradatrail.com if you haven’t heard anything.

Why a fire stops a mountain race

About 95% of this course runs on paths through the mountains above La Adrada, on the southern slopes of the Sierra de Gredos, through chestnut groves and along stream gorges. After a fire, burnt slopes lose the vegetation that holds the soil together. Paths can be unstable, trees can fall, and the first autumn rains can wash away whole sections. Keeping hundreds of runners off that ground gives the mountain time to recover, and it’s the right decision.

The race that was planned

For reference, and for when the race returns, the 2026 regulations set out:

• 25 km with +1,850 m of climbing, with the highest point at El Raso (1,530 m), starting and finishing at the Parque de la Yedra.
• Aid stations at km 6, 8.7 and 17.8, with the finish closing at 15:30.
• Mandatory kit: a charged phone, trail shoes and your own cup.
• A 13.5 km short race and a walk alongside the main race.

Looking ahead

Our calendar shows an estimated date for 2027 based on the usual third-Sunday-in-October pattern, but whether and how the race returns will depend on how the burnt area recovers. Follow the organisers on Instagram or at laadradatrail.com before planning anything.
