Description
For more experienced trail runners looking to take it one step further, the “Mid (and a bit)” offers the perfect balance of distance and elevation. With a course almost entirely on trails, it combines fast sections with steep climbs and a couple of technical areas.
You could say it’s got a bit of everything. And it all runs through some of the most iconic spots in our subregion, such as Pla del Revell, the Bufadors, and Salt del Mir.
