About This Race
The 24K distance provides an ideal introduction to Tenerife's volcanic terrain without the extreme altitude demands of the longer races, typically keeping runners within the lower elevation zones where they can experience the transition from coastal paths through pine forests. This distance suits runners seeking their first taste of technical volcanic trail running or those looking to race at a higher intensity while still encountering the island's distinctive lava rock formations and forest sections. The course allows runners to focus on speed and technique across Tenerife's varied terrain without the strategic pacing required for the ultra-distance challenges.
