Why Tenerife Blue Trail 110K Is One of Europe's Steepest Island Ultras: 13.33% Average Uphill
Q: How hard is the Tenerife Blue Trail 110K? A: One of Europe's most demanding volcanic island ultras. Average uphill gradient 13.33% estimated top ~10% DTR database; biggest descent drops 1,650m over 17.43km. High-altitude section (59–72km, 3,000–3,350m) slows most runners dramatically. The 25°C temperature swing — ~18°C beach start to −5°C Teide to ~20°C finish — demands careful kit management across the 27-hour window.
