Sierra Blanca · Marbella
This is where winter running happens.
Because the extraordinary is lived, not told.
Marbella Epic Trail is not just another trail race where you come to test your strength and endurance. It's a living entity, born in 2024 out of the collective experience of people who have lived this sport from every angle: companions, volunteers, participants and, finally, organisers.
Still young. Still learning. Still growing. A beast in its early days, with the ambition of becoming something truly extraordinary.
Choose your distance. Get ready for glory.

The mountain
A few kilometres from the sea, the limestone rises more than a thousand metres into another world: exposed ridges, Spanish fir forest, weather that changes its mind within the hour.
Down there, Marbella shines. Up here, none of that exists. Just rock, light, cold air — and the question of whether you trained enough.
Explore the courses →The people
After hours alone in the Sierra, a volunteer who feeds you, fills your bottle or simply looks you in the eye can become the strongest memory of your race. They wait in the cold, in the dark, in the middle of nowhere. This race belongs to them as much as to whoever crosses the finish line.
Each edition's finisher item is revealed after the race.
The reward
You have to finish to earn it.
Every finisher receives quality technical gear — including Lurbel garments — and an item that exists nowhere else: the edition's exclusive gift. Created only for finishers. Never for sale. Never repeated.
One item per edition · A collection of winters conquered
Sierra Blanca Week
Hiking, via ferrata, culture and gastronomy in the days before the race — for you and for whoever comes with you.
Stories
Honestly, I promise you it's, to put it mildly, the most technical race I've done so far, for sure... come well prepared, and it's not 65 kilometres... it's like a 100-kilometre race, it's a real ultra of an ultra...
Probably the most technical race in Andalusia right now, and it's worth being here and enjoying it, enjoying Sierra Blanca... we want MET to have a long life.
It was a very tough personal challenge: there was a moment when my legs gave out and I had to draw on courage, heart and head. I achieved something I thought I wouldn't — I didn't give up, and that feeling makes you want to come back.
