What does a trail running holiday consist of?
Trail running is a form of running. The aim is for runners to walk/run on natural paths and trails. Paved roads or running tracks are therefore not part of this. A trail run is not just about speed or performance, it is also about enjoying nature and the extra challenge of the uneven terrain. Something we find extremely important; choosing the best trail runs for you so that you can fully enjoy your trail running holiday with Canary Hiking.
The nice thing about a trail run is that it is not monotonous. There are so many variations in length and difficulty. In most cases, trail runs often take place among mountains, hills, forested areas, or other natural landscapes. As a runner, you must prepare yourself for descending, climbing, and braving rocks, roots, and other obstacles. Trail runs are adventurous and challenging. It is important to know that you must have the right equipment. Consider, for example, the right shoes that offer you the perfect grip and protection.
With us you can choose from a trail run trip in a group, or an individual trail run trip. So do you prefer to travel in a group, where you can work with a group, for example, or do you prefer to set your own pace in order to get the most out of yourself? It’s possible with all of us. Whatever reason you would like to plan a trail running holiday, we are happy to help you put together your ideal trail running holiday. Please note that on our trips we assume that you will travel 20 to 30 kilometers every day

Trans Grancanaria
With this kind of nature, it cannot be missed that both islands organize a trail running event every year. In Gran Canaria this is Trans Grancanaria. This is an incredibly popular race that takes place in Gran Canaria every year around February. It doesn’t matter whether you are a beginner or have more experience as a trail runner. As a beginner you can participate in the 21 kilometers, the advanced race of 84 kilometers, or the absolute challenge of the classic of 126 kilometers of the Trans Grancanaria.
