Endurance load on ITRA's km-effort scale — not steepness or technical terrain.
How we measure
km-effort = distance + climb/100, ITRA's published scale: every 100 m of climb counts like ~1 km of distance. Six levels, Easy → Brutal, from the hardest distance of the event. The climb figure (m/km) shows how vertical the course is.Drive

Our take
The catch · Our read
no D+ or cutoffs published; "exigente" with rock descents means the 24/42 are more technical than the flat km count implies
Who it's for · Our read
BCN-metro runners/bikers wanting a technical-ish playground; not for those needing published climb/cutoff data
Also nice · Our read
playful "obstacle" framing (stairs, rock scrambles), a 42 km option close to Barcelona, refill-point self-sufficiency
In a word · Our read
a near-Barcelona Baix Llobregat trail with a bike twin — like the Collserola races but rockier and dual-sport
Character
- Setting
- forest / mountain — Cervelló hills (Baix Llobregat), "naturaleza 100%", "climbing stairs to descending between rocks" · Organizer
- Technicality
- "divertida y exigente" (fun and demanding), rock descents + stair climbs — reads more technical than most here · Organizer
- Aid
- "Puntos de recàrrega" (refill points) + "avituallament" with water/isotonic — refill points hint at BYO-bottle/cupless, LOW confidence · Organizer
