One last hurrah before the end of the year. Runners, get ready for a fun and festive holiday 10K trail races at Squaxin Park in Olympia, WA on December 14.
After losing Transvulcania just two month ago UTMB announced a new race, just one island over in the same Canary Island group, but this one on the main island Tenerife, which is officially part of Spain.
The races will be held on June 6-8 with distances ranging from 110K, 73K, 47K and 24K.
Tenerife Bluetrail by UTMB® will become the second event in Spain to join the UTMB® World Series in 2024, giving the large community of runners across the country the opportunity to explore the highest peak in Spain and its surroundings.
UTMB seems to like these island destination races, which sort of goes counter to their sustainability efforts which state that runners should have access to lots of races close to where they live in order to minimize air travel. Getting to an island requires almost everyone to fly into. But it does hint at UTMB’s strategy that they are positioning their races as tourist magnets.
