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.

Thank you, Steve and Sarah for another great Christmas Holiday. I always have such a good time. Thank you all- really enjoyed meeting everyone. Let me know if you are ever in the Boston or DC area. See you out on the trails. Happy New Year!

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 (...)

I had a great running holiday with Ultra Trail Spain. It was so nice to escape from the rainy and windy weather and run in the sun instead and enjoy the beautiful scenery in Andalusia. Sarah and Steve are great hosts and offer a very complete running holiday. (...)

I took a short break with Ultra Trail Spain a fantastic way for individuals or groups to experience the Spanish culture and reach new heights (and distances) they I never thought possible. Its five, six, seven or eight day packages can be tailored to group’s (...)

Just returned home from the beautiful hidden gem that is Moclin. The impressive views and delicious food was only outdone by Steve & Sarah's warmth and friendliness. A superb few days of challenging running through incredible scenery. Highly recommended

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!
Cedric
Thanks for a fabulous week of superb, quiet trails, varying from rolling tracks to lovely narrow, steep, trails. Great food, accommodation and organisation, really detailed knowledge of the area, its history and wildlife, plus real friendliness and enthusiasm from Sarah and Steve.
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!

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!

What an amazing trip! The rainy weather was the only slight disappointment of this runcation and even the rain was worked around for runs. Steve and Sarah made this running holiday a trip to remember. Every detail was thought out and taken care of from the (...)

I was very impressed with the thought and detail that Steve and Sarah provided in the itinerary before and during the holiday. They were also flexible during the vacation, realizing that not everyone is at the same level of fitness and/or ability. A phenomenal experience! Highly recommended!
Evelyn
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 (...)
