COVID-19 INFORMATION
The ongoing corona-virus pandemic is, understandably, a concern for many people around the world. During this uncertain time, we have postponed a number of departures until a suitable and safe time that we can run them.
We are taking bookings for departures for 2021 and beyond into 2022, but understand anyone considering travel will likely have additional concerns and questions.
During uncertain times, flexibility and confidence can be invaluable, and we understand you might be apprehensive when it comes to booking a trail running adventure right now.
So, we wanted to outline our assurances for all new and existing bookings:
COVID REFUND GUARANTEE
If your trip is cancelled due to Covid choose from free date changes, account credit, or a full refund.
PAY IN INSTALLMENTS
You can lock in your spot on an experience with a deposit and then pay the rest off in as many installments as you like, with no interest or fees. Just pay in full by the date set out when you booked.
FINANCIAL PROTECTION
All customers booking with Pure Trails Adventure are fully financially protected in the unlikely event of financial failure by the company. When you book your adventure with us you are covered by the Travel Regulation Insolvency Protection. What that means is that your holiday with us is financially safe, secure, and water-tight with 100% protection and no additional cost.
Organiser's Description
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.

How to Get There
Parking
Location
The hotel is just metres away from pristine beaches and provides wellness, spa, and sauna facilities to help soothe tired muscles. The hotel also offers massage facilities for those wishing to treat themselves to treatment throughout their stay.
The Marina Hotel is a perfect base for relaxing as well as offering the chance to do some local exploring on our rest day.
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.
