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.

Training for Isle of Wight Marathon. An absolutely 5 star experience. Steve and Sarah’s organisation was exceptional – all the logistics were taken care of so I was able to relax and focus on each run and enjoy the spectacular scenery that the area has to (...)
Bridget & Steph
Just had a fantastic week with them. Their menu of runs was tailored to just what I had asked for but there’s so much more to running with them then just the trails. Sarah & Steve’s knowledge of the area is considerable and Sarah’s wisdom and experience of (...)
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!

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 (...)
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
Mark
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 (...)
Adam
Brilliant few days with Sarah and Steve. Very friendly and knowledgeable and they were quite happy to run at my snail like pace. Lovely trails especially the first day up the mountain to the observatory.
We hope to be back again next year and for a little longer next time.

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!

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 (...)
