Half Marathon TRAIL – Km 21.1
The course stretches partially on flat dust roads in the upper part of the area ( La Mola) and partially on downhill trails leading to Mitjorn beach and then climbing up back to La Mola, following the historical Camino Romano.
The first 6 km are flat; after the first wateer point is downhill to reach the 2nd water point; from here a single track clamb up to reach km 14. The last 6 km are flat, on asphalt in the last 700 meters before the La Mola lighthouse.
Difficulties are mainly due to the terrain – pretty jagged and demanding in some sections – and to the 420 meters climb. A map of the race course is shown by the start line.
Besides the final refreshment point, water points at 6th, 11th and 17th km are set; the course will be marked as described at the pre-start briefing. By the start line a parking for cars and scooters will be set. A guarded spot where to leave sport bags also will be set. Time limit 3 hours.
Formentera TRAIL – Km 10.0
Is the new entry for this edition, a competitive 10 km that entirely stretches in the upper part of Pilar de la Mola featuring an easy and almost flat course, pretty fast.
A single refreshment point at half distance will be set.
There is neither downhill along the Stufador trail nor climb on Camino Romano single track: the whole itinerary stretches in the upper parto of La Mola.
10 KM WALKERS
The same course will be used by the walkers. There’s no rank for this category,but the finisher medal will be awarded.
