Trail Running Holiday Description:
You'll love our running routes, chosen to suit you personally, as you explore your limits and discover the sun-drenched Spanish countryside. You could be scaling single-track climbs, passing through pine woodland, olive groves, and white-washed villages all in one run.
If you need longer distances to improve your endurance base, then we've got the trails. Alternatively, if you need a faster, shorter, speed sharpener – well - we’ve got plenty of wide-rolling tracks too.
Before we even step foot on a trail, we’ll find out exactly what your level and goals, if any, are to enable us to put together a schedule to suit you.
Less active friends and family members are welcome to come along too; there are plenty of other things to see and do in the area to make your holiday as active or as relaxing as you choose.

There are no better hosts to be had! Sarah & Steve made this the absolute most fun running vacation. The town of Moclin & surrounding areas are gorgeous, and the food, wine & company are unparalleled! We'll be back!

Training for Lakeland Trail / Ultimate Trails 55km Ultra Race. My partner and I decided to spend a week with Ultra Trail Spain after signing up for July's Lakeland 55 Ultra, woefully under prepared and never having run more than a road marathon. We are both (...)
Astrid
We had a short, but fantastic stay with Sarah and Steve. Great location with beautiful views, fabulous trails and professional guidance. We clocked up more km than we thought we could achieve and were well looked after both on and off the trail. We highly (...)
Bie
An incredible experience. Steve and Sarah are very friendly, pleasant and welcoming people. You feel at home immediately. The trails are very beautiful and challenging. They take your goals and your experience into account and drive you a little out of your (...)
Sarah
Ultra trail Spain is fantastic! It was an amazing experience. For me it was my first time running trail but definitely not my last time. I ended up at Ultra Trail Spain through a friend. She had already run with them and was very satisfied. Sarah and Steve are (...)
Mauro
Very nice experience.
Sarah and Steve were very professional and insightful on the trails, and friendly and helpful before and after the runs.
Moclin is great for sport and relax, but the beautiful city of Granada is also very close.
I really enjoyed it!
Stuart
I visited in February for a sunny break; with the intention of having a holiday but with an eye on an April marathon.
Through pre-visit communication I explained this and also my ‘experience’, or lack of, on trails and hills.
It’s worth noting that (...)
Ann
Myself and four of my running club friends have just come back from the 3 day Grand Tour point-to-point holiday. I had a great time. Sarah and Steve looked after every part of the holiday, and I didn't have to think at all. We had swift replies to emails where (...)
Simon
I had a wonderful time spent at Ultra Trail Spain. High points were the beautiful trail runs with the superb views and local wildlife, the kindness and attentiveness of Steve and Sarah and my inspirational fellow guests Mark and Cedric. I think I’ll be a regular guest!
Mark
Great week, I set some tough goals and you got me there, 160k of hills, trails, some flats and a half marathon as a starter. A special thanks for looking after all the details so the only focus was on the running...I will be back!
5 stars

I had a fantastic time. Thanks to Sarah and Steve for all the personal, individual touches that made this such an enjoyable experience. Whether you are an ultramarathoner looking for some serious training, or, like us, a group of friends who enjoy running the (...)
Mags
I had a great week at Sarah’s and Steve’s ultra-trail running centre at Moclin. I was sent a running plan before I left home. Each day runs were structured according to my ability and needs-training for a marathon at the end of Oct. The area is stunning, and (...)

Great trails, perfectly planned routes, splendid views and last but not least great stay with Sarah & Steve 🙂

I stayed with Steve & Sarah for 5 days to help me with my first ultramarathon prep and it was such a great trip. The runs they had planned for me we’re just what I needed and it’s clear to see they have a wealth of running knowledge between them which is so re (...)

Booked a week of training with Steve and Sarah for the second time. With each training they have provided a great route and care along the way. Because they run with you, you don't have to think about anything, just put on your shoes and go! Overnight stay was (...)

Just returned from an excellent week of mountain running superbly served to us by Ultra Trail Spain. Sarah and Steve provided fabulous running routes through olive groves, pine forest and indigenous holm oak vegetation. Our rehydration and refuel needs were (...)

I have just spent an amazing week with Sarah and Steve running the beautiful trails around the lovely village of Moclin. Everything about the week was excellent - the trails, the accommodation, the weather (I was escaping the grey and cold of English winter), (...)
Anna
Sarah and Steve tailor made a trip based on the race I am training for - simulating the same format, with a strong focus on my individual needs and goals. That is something that few companies offer and is a particularly strong core mandate of Ultra Trail (...)
