About This Event
Mallorca by UTMB unfolds across the Serra de Tramuntana, a UNESCO World Heritage Site that defines the dramatic spine of this Mediterranean island. The race showcases the incredible diversity of Mallorcan landscapes, from dizzying cliffs plunging into azure waters to lush forests of holm oak and Mediterranean pine that carpet the steep peaks. Part of the prestigious UTMB World Series, this event offers runners the chance to experience what organizers describe as "probably one of the most varied mountain races in the world." The courses wind through terrain that embodies the essence of the Mediterranean – where sea, land, and air converge in nature's purest form. The Serra de Tramuntana's protected status ensures runners traverse landscapes of exceptional natural and cultural significance. As a UTMB World Series event, finishers earn Running Stones toward qualification for the HOKA UTMB Mont-Blanc lottery, making this both a destination race and a stepping stone for runners pursuing the sport's most coveted events. The combination of Mediterranean climate, diverse terrain, and UTMB pedigree creates an exceptional trail running adventure in one of Europe's most stunning island settings.
