WMTRC Opening Ceremony Troubles

Posted on the Pro Trail Runners Association Instagram account:

To all the athletes attending the @wmtrc2025_canfrancpirineos: the PTRA, in agreement with @wmramountainrun and @itra_trail presidents and all the national team leaders, would like to invite all runners in Jaca who are unable to go the official opening ceremony due to transportation capacity issues, to an informal opening get together at 6pm in the Ciudadela in Jaca (link in the stories). 

We hope to see you there to celebrate the start of this championship as well as to stand together for unity, freedom and equality in the world.

“Together for a fair and responsible sport”

I don’t even know what to say here… clearly the organization knew months ahead of time how many athletes would come to this event… and still there were transportation issues forcing country delegations to not have their full team at the official opening ceremony?

Media Coverage on the Web

Here’s a list of media outlets and sources covering the WMTRC, live from Spain (I’ll be adding to that list as I find more):

  • Link to official results, tracking and livestream page.
  • Also follow the official Instagram account posting times for the various events and of course updates and results.
  • iRunFar will be covering live casting each race from the ground and on X – Elon thanks them!
  • Freetrail will be doing their “trailgating” shows. How do you translate trailgating into Spanish?

WORLD MOUNTAIN & TRAIL RUNNING CHAMPIONSHIPS 2025

The 2025 World Mountain & Trail Running Championships are happening this week in CanFrancPirineos, Spain and Electric Cable Car is on it. We’ll bring you all the action, abbreviated, in bite sized pieces as you’ve come to love for our previous “live” coverage. Stay tuned for continues updates so you won’t miss a bit.

Especially since the official website is… completely not working for me, in both browsers (Safari and Chrome). There are some serious code bugs preventing almost any useable navigation of the pages – fun.
