Ibiza Trail Maratón 48km: Europe's Most Surprising Trail Race, Measured
Ibiza Trail Maratón 48 km is a trail race held on October 26, 2026, starting and finishing on the seafront of Sant Antoni de Portmany, Ibiza, Balearic Islands, Spain. The course covers 48 km with 1,600 m of gain (33.3 m/km) through coastal paths, Mediterranean pine forest, rocky ascents, and agricultural valley trails — opening immediately with a climb to Sa Talaia de Sant Antoni (475m, highest point western Ibiza) before descending through the Es Broll valley and returning along coastal edges.
Now in its 18th edition (running since 2009), the race draws 1,000 participants across three distances; the 48km field is smaller and competitive — the 2024 men's finish saw less than one second separate first and second. Entry costs €55 base plus €5 RFEA Day License (€60 effective / €1.25/km). Ibiza (IBZ) airport is 29 minutes from the start. It suits runners looking to combine a legitimate Mediterranean race with one of Europe's most distinctive island settings.

Why the Ibiza Trail Maratón Is Harder Than Its Island Setting Implies (Sa Talaia, Steep Sections, October Humidity)
How hard is the Ibiza Trail Maratón 48km?
▼
Harder than Ibiza's party reputation suggests. The course covers 48km with 1,600m of gain, opening immediately with a climb to Sa Talaia de Sant Antoni (~475m). Terrain includes rocky ascents, coastal paths, and Mediterranean forest on medium-technical trails. October island humidity adds effort that the elevation numbers don't capture — one runner described 'a lot of stinging, steep sections.' The 2024 men's winner crossed in 2:15:09.
