Major Trail Races this Weekend

24 April 2026

Another massive weekend on the global racing calendar. Here are the top events around the world:

Mt. Fuji 100 – Japan – a World Trail Major event
Madeira Island Ultra Trail – Portugal – a World Trail Major event
Canyons Endurance Runs – California – a UTMB World Series event
Kailas Penang Skyrace – Malaysia – a Skyrunner World Series event

I’ll be covering the Canyons races on the ECC Live Ticker and will keep an eye on for results at the Penang Skyrace. And working in my yard in between.
