America's only certified Skyrace course. Race Beast of Big Creek on Mt. Ellinor in Hoodsport, WA on Aug 3rd, 2024.

The Tenerife Bluetrail by UTMB happened this weekend (June 4-6, 2024) on the island of Tenerife, Spain and Europe continues to be on fire with weekend after weekend, races after races in stunning locations drawing thousands of runners. If I’d live over there I’d lose my head trying to make my annual racing schedule. I can’t even.

Check here for my pre-race coverage.

Of the races I tracked (there were a couple others, a relay and shorter distance events not listed on the UTMB live page) the event saw 2,447 starters and 2,189 finishers. 480 (22%) women and 1,710 (78%) men reached the finish line and folks running Index and Stones eligible races earned themselves their respective stones and an UTMB index (or directly punched their ticket to the Finals in Chamonix for 2025).

Next up on the UTMB World Series Calendar we’re heading into another double header weekend with two events fairly close to each other in Andorra and in France. On June 14 – 16, 2024 two sold out events, the Andorra 100 Trail and the Trail du Saint-Jacques will happen a mere 300 miles from each other.
