Almonds and Volcanoes Trail 14K 2027

Spring in the southwest of Tenerife smells of almond blossom and volcanic earth, and on 2027-04-25 the trails above Tamaimo come alive for the 15th edition of the Almonds and Volcanoes Trail 14K, a mountain race that packs real trail running into a manageable distance. It crosses the mid slopes of Santiago del Teide, among terraces, almond trees, pine forest and lava fields, with Teide always on the horizon. General information: the race is organised by Santiago del Teide Town Council, with the Pancracio Socas García Sports Complex and Juego Limpio collaborating and Canaryrun in charge of timing and results. It is open to runners aged 16 or over (under-18s need signed permission from a parent or guardian) and can be run individually or in pairs; pairs must start, pass every control and finish together. Distance and course: the distance is 14 km with about 687 m of elevation gain, between 562 m and 1,091 m of altitude. Start and finish are in Plaza Abelardo González in Tamaimo, and the course follows marked trails and paths up into the hills of the municipality and back down to the village. There are two aid stations, but no plastic cups, so you must carry your own container. Mandatory gear is a mobile phone and the bib with chip, and hiking poles are allowed. GPX tracks are available on the Canaryrun website. Why this race is special: it is a great introduction to Tenerife's volcanic trails, short enough to enjoy and steep enough to feel like real mountain running, with almond trees, volcanic cones and views over the west coast. The local atmosphere is strong, with trophies for the best local runners and free entry for residents who register before 2027-03-31. In 2026 the winners were Ossama Ghazi and Guada Arnedo, and in 2022 Román Sánchez won in 1:14:15. Schedule: the start is at 09:15 on 2027-04-25.
