The Mountain Festival Comapedrosa by HEMŌN has now sold nearly 75% of its entries for the 2026 edition, with registrations for races closing in little more than two weeks.
Set for 25-26 July in Arinsal (La Massana) at the heart of Parc Natural Comunal de les Valls del Comapedrosa, the event features four trail running races: Skyrace Comapedrosa (24km, 2,400m positive elevation), Marathon Comapedrosa (36km, 3,300m positive elevation), Skyrace Arinsal (19km, 1,500m positive elevation) and Vertical Comapedrosa (8km, 1,500m positive elevation). It forms part of the XTERRA Trail Run World Series circuit, which spans five continents and draws top specialists.
Organisers report strong demand, leaving limited spots for runners. In parallel, sign-ups have opened for public activities designed for families, companions and visitors. These include outdoor yoga and pilates sessions, guided hikes through the natural park, via ferrata routes, children's events at Les Berques d'Arinsal, and stargazing experiences.
The festival underscores Andorra's rising status as a trail running hub in the Pyrenees, bolstered by its demanding terrain, well-marked paths, high-altitude peaks and established event infrastructure. Other major races on the local calendar, such as Trail 100 Andorra by UTMB (up to 105km), Casamanya Extrem and Travessa Pas de la Casa, further enhance this appeal.
Last year's winners across the races were Jan Castillo, Nikola Matkova, Rodrigo Monasor, Irati Azkargorta, Iker Chavarría, Maria Mañana, Jordi Bolet and Laura Orgué.
