Oro Trail Race Laviana 2027

Green hills, village paths and the Nalón valley below: the Oro Trail Race Laviana is a fast, demanding mountain race that starts and finishes in the town hall square of Pola de Laviana. It combines the character of Asturian trail running with a good cause, as it is organised together with the Alto Nalón Red Cross, and every entry includes a ticket for the Red Cross gold prize draw.

This is the date shown on race calendars, but official confirmation is pending; the last edition was on 2026-05-10. - Format: Speed Trail of about 14.4 km with about 800 m of elevation gain and 800 m of descent. - Start and finish: town hall square, Pola de Laviana.

Why it is special: - It is a short but intense trail, perfect for running fast in the Asturian mountains. - It has a charitable purpose: the race supports the Alto Nalón Red Cross. - In the previous edition it awarded Asturian Championship titles in the under-17, under-19 and under-21 categories. - There is a pairs category, men's, women's and mixed, where both runners must finish less than 5 seconds apart. - The start and finish in the centre of Pola de Laviana create a lively village atmosphere.

Gear: suitable trail shoes and clothing and a cup or soft flask for the aid stations. Poles are allowed; if they do not fold, their tips must be covered and they must be carried from start to finish. Tips: the key is to pace the climbs and spare your legs on the descents. Always carry your cup and do not drop wrappers outside the aid-station bins. Bib exchange: the bib is personal and non-transferable. The rules only allow a bib change with the organiser's prior authorisation and set no deadline for a name change. There are no refunds except for justified force majeure, and no official waiting lists. Alternatives to get a bib: register early, as places are limited, and join the waiting list on Bibready with a bib alert. A bib exchange on Bibready is only possible if the organiser authorises the transfer. FAQ: - When is it? Expected on 2027-05-09; official confirmation is pending. - How long is it?
