Pozo Los Moros Trail (Bornos) 2027

With around +1,000 m over 21 km, Bornos’s trail race is much hillier than you’d expect in the Guadalete valley. The village sits beside the Bornos reservoir, at the start of the Pueblos Blancos route in Cádiz province, and the circular route stays within the municipality, on tracks and paths through its hills. The 10th edition starts at 9:00 on Sunday 4 October 2026.

Pick your category

Few trail races offer this many ways to take part:

Category	Distance	Price
Long trail	21 km	€25
Short trail	14 km	€20
Cadets	see regulations	€15
FADEC (adapted mountaineering)	see regulations	€15
Hiking	14 km	€10
Nordic walking	12 km	€10 (sold out)

The FADEC category is listed as montañismo adaptado (adapted mountaineering). Small local races rarely offer anything like it. Nordic walking places have already sold out.

How hard is it?

In 2025, when the race was the Cádiz provincial mountain-running championship, the short course was 14.6 km with +318 m. The long course had about three times as much climbing over only 50% more distance. All that extra climbing is on the long route, so pace the first climbs carefully. If the long course feels like too much, the 14 km is a genuine alternative, not a much harder race cut short.

Practical details

• Entries on Cronius Sport close on 25 September at 12:00, earlier than for most races. Don’t leave it to the final week.
• The race is organised by Club Deportivo Ciudad del Lago with Bornos town council, under the Andalusian mountain sports federation (FADMES).
• Early October in the Sierra de Cádiz foothills can still be hot by late morning. The 9:00 start helps, but carry water between aid stations.

Arcos de la Frontera is about 15 minutes away, and Jerez is about 40 minutes by car.
