About
FUGA Penyagolosa Trails is an iconic ultra-endurance trail running event in the province of Castellón, Spain. Races run in semi-self-sufficiency mode, starting at sea level in Castelló de la Plana and finishing at the Sanctuary of Sant Joan de Penyagolosa (1,280 m altitude), crossing towns such as Borriol, Vilafamés, Les Useres, Atzeneta, Culla, Xodos and Vistabella. The event has two main competitive distances: the MiM (60 km) and the CSP (106 km, a Western States Endurance Run qualifier). The 2027 edition is scheduled for April 24, 2027 — exactly 28 years after the first MiM race held in 1999.

Why this race

Pack this
- Waterproof jacket with taped seams plus thermal layer for summit cold
- Headlamp with spare batteries for night sections on the CSP
- Reusable cup and 1.5L capacity: two soft flasks plus bladder
- Gels or bars every 30-40 min plus electrolyte tabs for 10-20h efforts
- Survival blanket, whistle, charged phone and race ID
What you should know
- The course runs point-to-point from Castelló to Sant Joan de Penyagolosa, so arrange your return transport in advance.
- Check the official mandatory gear list before race day, since kit checks are common at ultras of this length.
- Intermediate cutoffs apply on long ultras, so pace conservatively on early climbs to bank time.
- Mild 17°C at the coast can drop sharply near the Penyagolosa summit, which sits at about 1,800m, especially at night.
- Rocky, technical descents on tired legs raise fall risk, so consider poles and shoes with good grip.
