You’re in. Now it’s time to prepare.
Your bib is secured and the training is starting to show in your legs. With four months to go until the start, there are things that can’t be left until the last minute: some deadlines close sooner than you think, and some of the mandatory kit isn’t something you can sort out in race week. Here’s everything you need to know.
Cancellation or deferral: every distance has its own deadline.
Every registration includes mandatory cancellation and deferral insurance. If you can’t race, you have two options: cancel your registration, or defer your place rather than lose it. Deferral is available for up to 1 year for Tragapiedras and Destroyer, and up to 2 years for Epic Trail. To request either, email race@marbellaepictrail.com before the deadline for your distance. The first deadline is just around the corner.
Check your details. Today, not in February.
Log in to your private area with your registration ID and email address and check that everything is correct. From there you can manage your registration and, if you can’t race, transfer your bib to someone else. Changes can be made until 7 February 2027, and everything closes for good on 11 February. One important detail: we can’t change sizes on official garments, so the size you chose is the one you’ll receive.
Epic Trail isn’t something you wing.
To run Epic Trail, you need to have finished Destroyer or an equivalent or harder race in distance and difficulty. It’s not a formality: it’s 65.89 km and more than 5,000 m of elevation gain over technical mountain terrain. If you’re running Destroyer this year, you’re taking the first step.
Accommodation: don’t leave it too late.
We have special agreements with a hotel in Marbella just 500 metres from the start and finish.
If you asked for help with accommodation when you registered but no longer need it because you’ve found somewhere, let us know at race@marbellaepictrail.com. If you still need it, we’ll be in touch next week to confirm price and availability and process your booking.
Didn’t ask but need a room? Drop us a line saying whether you’d prefer a hotel or a hostal, and we’ll be happy to offer you the available options.
Rooms are limited, so don’t leave it until the last minute: in February, Marbella is as busy as many destinations are in summer.
