Sat 12th March 2022 - Sat 19th March 2022

A group of hikers walking along a rocky trail on a mountain. The terrain is covered in patches of vegetation, and in the background, there is a clear view of the ocean and distant mountains under a bright blue sky. A scenic beach at sunset featuring calm waters and a quiet shoreline bordered by palm trees. Buildings are nestled on a hillside in the background under a soft, colorful sky. A few boats float in the water, and the beach has some scattered chairs and umbrellas. Two men hike on a rocky trail through a lush, mountainous landscape. One man in a white shirt and baseball cap leads, smiling, while the other in a blue shirt follows. The sky is partly cloudy, casting a mix of sunlight and shade over the green valley below. A picturesque valley surrounded by lush green hills under a partly cloudy sky. In the foreground, two hikers are following a winding trail through the grass and shrubs. Rugged mountaintops rise in the background, providing a scenic and tranquil atmosphere. A person in athletic gear runs on a rocky mountain trail with a panoramic view of the sea and distant mountains under a clear blue sky. Sparse vegetation and rugged terrain are visible in the foreground, with expansive coastal scenery in the background. Scenic coastal trail surrounded by lush greenery and tall trees, leading to a view of the blue ocean under a partly cloudy sky. Two hikers, one in a blue shirt and the other in a black shirt, walk along the dirt path, enjoying the natural landscape. A person in a bright red shirt runs along a narrow path surrounded by lush greenery. The path is at the base of a steep, rocky cliff with sparse vegetation. The scene is serene and natural, showcasing the contrast between rocky cliffs and verdant flora. A group of eight runners stands on a dirt path in a forest, taking a break. They're wearing athletic clothing with running vests and hydration gear. Some are smiling, and they appear relaxed. Behind them, there's a wooden signboard and a fenced area. Trees surround the scene.

Organiser's Description

On our small group running adventure, we set out to run the ancient dry stone way which traverses the impressive Serra de Tramuntana mountain range, spanning the width of the island.

The route is steeped in history as we weave our way among citrus and olive groves, through charming towns where piazzas are crammed with local folk sipping coffee and watching the world go by. Not forgetting the blissful beaches and coves we will run past as well, with the turquoise waters of the Mediterranean glistening away.

Join us on a spectacular trail running journey as we look to cross the Serra de Tramuntana mountains of Mallorca.

Course Details

Trail running the empty GR221 is magnificent and a real surprise when visiting Mallorca. We often associate the island with beautiful beaches and overlook the stunning Tramuntana mountain range that extends across the island.

We expect the trails to be quiet, travelling through along dry-stone paths (where the route took its name), forests, and through orange, olive, and other citrus groves. We will also pass through many quiet traditional villages and local provincial towns with their cobbled streets and open-air cafes. All the while the loft heights of the Tramuntana will flank us on one side.

At times we will climb steeply through wide canyons and the trail can become particularly dry and rocky where care and attention need to be given. A handful of our days include some steep climbs, but they are worth it as the reward is spectacular views from the top. Our longest day on the trail is 20km when we travel from Soller to Lluc. Our maximum altitude will reach around 1,200m.

FAQs

  • FLIGHTS

    We specialise in arranging excellent trail running experiences but do not book international flights. As there is a great variety of value flights departing from all over the world to Palma de Majorca International Airport (PMI). We will discuss with you our trusted and recommended ways to book international flights through excellent ATOL-protected partners who offer great value, ease of service, and flight protection.

  • GROUP MANAGEMENT

    Being a group of max. 12 runners with a mixture of ages and running abilities we may decide to split into flexible groups, all of which will be supported by our running guides who will travel with us on the trip. By splitting the group will allow us all to move more fluidly, allowing all team members to run at their own comfortable pace, without feeling pressured.

  • TEMPERATURES

    Mallorca enjoys a Mediterranean climate year-round. We purposefully choose to run this trail running trip in the spring as the temperatures sit in the early to mid 20 degrees C with clear days expected. The conditions are absolutely perfect for trail running.
