Join us for the Mollo Trail Run Pyrenees in May. You can choose between a marathon and a half marathon distance.
The Molló trail run of the Pyrenees is a cross-border trail run that resembles (through footpaths, forests, and rivers) the journey of many men and women who had to go into exile in France at the end of the Spanish Civil War.
There will be 2 tracks – 43km or 20 km long passing through Molló, Coll d’Ares, Prats de Molló, and Espinavell in the eastern part of the Capçaleres del Ter a Freser national park.
So you will run on both the Spanish and French sides of the Pyrenees.
The races are locally focused, organized by local volunteers, and have been very popular for several years. Together with the race, we have prepared a smaller package so that in addition to running, you also get to know the local environment and gastronomy. This event is a unique opportunity to get to know the authenticity, beauty of the Eastern Pyrenees, and local culture.
