In 2026, between <strong>4&nbsp;and 8&nbsp;March<\/strong>, the island of Gran&nbsp;Canaria will once again be the trail running epicentre with a programme ranging from explosive five\u2011kilometre races to challenges of 126&nbsp;km and almost 7,000&nbsp;m of positive elevation. In this article you will discover all the categories and schedules, the confirmed elite runners, the new features of this edition and, above all, how to prepare for any of its distances.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Categories and distances at Transgrancanaria&nbsp;2026<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The organisers have designed eight options so that both beginners and experienced runners can enjoy the island:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>El\u00a0Gigante Vertical Kilometer<\/strong> (4\u00a0March). A vertiginous uphill time trial from Agaete to the Tamadaba summit with 1,000\u00a0m of ascent in just a few kilometres.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Half 23\u00a0km<\/strong> (5\u00a0March, 9:00\u00a0am). It starts in Santa\u00a0Luc\u00eda de Tirajana and finishes in Tejeda. With 1,817\u00a0m of positive elevation, it is ideal for those taking their first steps in ultratrail. The new start from Santa\u00a0Luc\u00eda is one of the 2026 changes.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Promo 12\u00a0km<\/strong> (5\u00a0March, 12:00\u00a0pm). A fast course that shares its finish line in Tejeda and serves as an entry point into trail running.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Marathon 47\u00a0km<\/strong> (6\u00a0March, 9:30\u00a0am). It sets off from Tejeda and ends in Maspalomas\u2019 Parque\u00a0Sur. With 1,784\u00a0m of ascent, it crosses Pico de las Nieves and combines technical trails with fast tracks.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Classic 126\u00a0km<\/strong> (6\u00a0March, 11:59\u00a0pm). The flagship race starts in Las\u00a0Palmas de Gran\u00a0Canaria and crosses the island to Maspalomas with 6,764\u00a0m of positive elevation. It returns to the emblematic Roque\u00a0Nublo.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Advanced 82\u00a0km<\/strong> (7\u00a0March, 10:00\u00a0am). Starting in Teror and finishing in Maspalomas. With 3,819\u00a0m of ascent, it mixes lush forests with desert stretches and is perfect for those seeking an intermediate challenge.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Family &amp; Short<\/strong> (8\u00a0March, 10:00\u00a0am). A 5\u00a0km race open to families and enthusiasts, starting and finishing in Maspalomas.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>With such a variety of distances, Transgrancanaria shows its commitment to making trail running accessible. The 2026 edition will host more than 6,000 runners and an impressive broadcast that will show live the vertical kilometre, the Half, the Marathon and the start of the Classic. The event is part of the <em>World&nbsp;Trail&nbsp;Majors<\/em> circuit and attracts athletes from all over the world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Featured athletes and media coverage<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The competitive level will be exceptional in 2026. In the Classic race, Swedish runner <strong>Ida&nbsp;Nilsson<\/strong>, the 2025 champion with a time of 8:34:54 and winner of iconic races such as Transvulcania and Zegama, and Catalan runner <strong>Abel&nbsp;Carretero<\/strong>, fourth in 2024 and a regular on the podium at shorter editions, are already confirmed. They will be joined by American <strong>Hayden&nbsp;Hawks<\/strong>, winner of the 2025 Tarawera Ultra Trail and Kodiak&nbsp;100, who returns determined to finish the Classic after several DNFs, and Briton <strong>Eleanor&nbsp;Davis<\/strong>, fifth in the 2022 Marathon and winner of Ultra\u2011Trail&nbsp;Snowdonia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In the Marathon, the spotlight is on Catalan <strong>N\u00faria&nbsp;Gil<\/strong>, champion in 2023 and recent winner of Ultra Pirineu and other UTMB events, and Finnish runner <strong>Juho&nbsp;Ylinen<\/strong>, who is a regular podium finisher in Gran&nbsp;Canaria and across Europe. Other names to watch include Sara&nbsp;Alonso, Robert&nbsp;Pkemoi and Anthony&nbsp;Felber. The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/Transgrancanaria\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">YouTube<\/a> broadcast will allow fans to follow the races from anywhere.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How to prepare for Transgrancanaria: training, nutrition and equipment<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Running an ultratrail requires months of preparation. Here are some key tips to arrive in top form:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Gradual progression<\/strong>. Don\u2019t jump from a half marathon to 126\u00a0km without adaptation. Increase your distance step by step: start with 20\u00a0km events, then marathons and shorter ultras before taking on long distances. This builds both physical and mental endurance.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Listen to your body<\/strong>. Mix training days with rest. Avoid overtraining and find a balance between volume and intensity. Complement running with cycling, hiking or ski touring to develop other capacities.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Simulate race conditions<\/strong>. Do long outings on technical terrain, at night and with a loaded pack. Practice using poles on climbs, strengthen your quadriceps for descents and repeat loops to simulate cumulative fatigue.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Nutrition and hydration<\/strong>. Plan your fueling: eat every 20\u201330\u00a0minutes combining gels, bars and salty foods. Alternate water and electrolytes and adjust your intake to the weather. Test everything in training to avoid surprises.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Reliable equipment<\/strong>. Prioritise comfort and protection: shoes with good grip, a stable pack for water, headlamp, waterproof jacket and poles. Try all gear in training; a slight discomfort can become a problem after many hours.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Mental management and recovery<\/strong>. Visualise the course, break the race into small sections and establish routines to overcome low points. After an ultra, give yourself time to recover: sleep, eat well and do gentle activities.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Transgrancanaria and SnapRace: the perfect combination<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Whether you are tackling your first trail run or aiming to improve your time, the <a href=\"https:\/\/snaprace.app\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">SnapRace<\/a> app can be your ally.

Whatever your distance, prepare well in advance, choose the right equipment and enjoy every kilometre.
