Trail Running in Tenerife

A difficult Trail Running route in the south of Tenerife

The route starts in the south of the island of Tenerife, in the town of Vilaflor to be precise, at an altitude of almost 1,400 metres. After a tough climb of 1,100 metres, you reach La Degollada de Guajara, an area of spectacular views of El Teide and the island of La Gomera. From there it is a one kilometre descent to the Siete Cañadas, from where the route continues.

A mountain race through the Teide National Park

The runner crosses six kilometres of almost flat terrain between volcanic badlands and lava rocks before getting to Parador del Teide, a truly lunar experience. In total, it’s almost 20 kilometres on a demanding trail, which in recent years has become part of the Blue Trail in the category of Ultra Trail. Good sunscreen and lots of liquids are absolutely necessary.
