Welcome to Marbella. Not for sipping cocktails on the promenade, nor for sunbathing under a palm tree (you'll do that later).

Here, we're talking 65 km and 5,000 m of elevation gain in the Sierra Blanca.

A formidable route, uncompromising terrain, a challenge made for those who know what it means to push their limits—and who are used to doing it.

What you'll find there:

  • A pre-dawn start, at 5 a.m. on the Marbella seafront (it stings a little);

  • 5,000 m of elevation gain, no less!

  • Powerful landscapes, between exposed ridges, suspended trails, and breathtaking Andalusian panoramas—in case the effort hadn't already;

  • Premium aid stations at kilometers 13.5 / 20.7 / 29 / 36 / 46 / 54, plus a final boost at the finish;

  • A technical welcome kit, a recovery service with physiotherapists, showers, and changing rooms at the finish—true post-effort luxury;

  • And for finishers, an exclusive medal, a premium gift, and a gastronomic fiesta with an open bar and gourmet BBQ (vegetarian available, of course).

Course Focus:

You start facing the Mediterranean. The silence of the sleeping city, the frontal light piercing the darkness. Then, very quickly, the steep slopes of the Sierra Blanca await you, unmistakably. Here, there's no half-measure: your legs burn, your feet slip, your breath fades... but the scenery is magnificent. Between Puerto de Marbella and Istán, there are no aid stations. You'll be alone with your mind and your well-managed hydration. This section is the final straw.

No improvisation allowed: mandatory equipment is scrutinized (control mats, race inspections), your GPS watch must be running, your survival blanket must be in your bag, and your headlamp must be charged. Want to play? Come equipped.

3 (very) good reasons to participate:

  • 5,000 m of elevation gain in 65 km isn't something you collect like a pin. It's an experience in itself, a rite of passage.

  • It's not every day that you experience an ultra where every detail has been thought out for the athletes' performance and safety.

  • Because at the finish, you're not just given a medal. You're given respect. And a BBQ. And an open bar. In short, the reward your effort deserves.

Think you're ready? Show it. The Marbella Epic Trail isn't for everyone. It's only for those who have already climbed walls, run through the night, and faced peaks. It's not a race. It's a statement.
