About This Race
The 47K represents the perfect introduction to Tenerife's high-altitude volcanic terrain without the extreme demands of the longer distances, typically following the same challenging route as the 73K and 110K but with strategic cutoff points that allow runners to experience the dramatic ascent toward Teide's slopes. This distance suits runners ready to step beyond marathon territory while testing their ability to handle significant elevation gain across varied volcanic surfaces, from pine forest climbs to exposed volcanic paths. The 47K provides enough distance to fully appreciate the island's geological diversity and the mesmerizing sea of clouds phenomenon, while remaining achievable for runners building toward longer ultra distances or seeking a demanding single-day mountain challenge.
