Trail Run Mallorca | Crossing the Tramuntana

Sat 27th March 2021 - Sat 3rd April 2021

A person wearing hiking gear stands on a rocky ledge, overlooking a vast expanse of green hills and the blue sea under a clear sky. The view includes a rugged coastline, distant mountains, and scattered settlements.

Organiser's Description

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

Mallorca is a real surprise package; covered with turquoise coves, white sand beaches, and sleepy provincial towns. But, look a little to the north and you will find the Serra de Tramuntana mountain range, which rises steeply up from the blue waters of the Mediterranean and extends across the width of the island.

Our journey follows the ‘Dry Stone Way’ as we meander our way over ancient pilgrim paths, orange and olive groves, beautiful little towns, astonishing beaches, and lush mountain tops. Outstanding views are guaranteed.

Tips

Faqs

FLIGHTS

We specialise in arranging excellent trail running holidays, 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 about our trusted and recommended ways to book international flights through excellent ATOL protected partners who offer great value, ease of service and flight protection.

VISAS

British citizens do not need a visa to visit Spain.

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.

TRAIL RUNNING

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 it’s 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.

TEMPERATURES

Mallorca enjoys a Mediterranean climate year around. 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.

Accommodation
Marina Hotel.jpg

Marina Wellness and Spa Hotel,

Port de Soller

Mallorca is blessed with beautiful boutique hotels right throughout the entire island. As a result, we have decided to pick one of the best which sits on the lapping shoreline of the beautiful Port de Soller.

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 a 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.

Single Supplement available.
