CANFRANC-CANFRANC 2023: REGISTRATION OPEN TODAY AT 18.00 CET. Our WMRA section bring us today the exciting news about the next WMRA Mountain Running World masters Champioinships and the Spanish Alpinultras circuit.

Spain will host the WMRA World Mountain Running Masters Championship for the first time in 2024. It will be the 23rd edition of an event born back in 1998 and which just held its 2022 edition in Ireland. Canfranc will offer Uphill and  Classic mountain races, where the best veteran mountain runners in the world, from 35 to over 75 years old, will face each other off, representing their official national federation teams.

Already consolidated as a must for those looking for the highest competition among mountain races in Spain, the Jacetana test is now committed to leading the Pyrenees in order to attract more and better official appointments from year to year to the mountains.

The objective is thus to open a path that covers other organizations both to the South and North of the mountain chain to advance in its wake and generate joint growth, from Cabo Higuer to Cap de Creus.

Thus, for the third year, Canfranc Pirineos hopes to host the WMRA Mountain Running World Cup, this 2023, with the hope of hosting the three modalities (uphill, classic and long distance).

In the same way, it once again hosts the Spanish Master Championship organized by the RFEA, an event that is an excellent dress rehearsal for the WMRA 2024 World Master Mountain Running whose venue in Canfranco was recently confirmed. At a popular level, the Alpinultras circuit will continue to visit Canfranc, with its Marathon and Ultra 100k events as key points.

This 2023 the many innovations launched successfully last year are consolidated: The Uphill Vertical race, streaming television monitoring, the expansion of elite awards and WADA doping control with the maximum worldwide guarantee.

The 2023 program once again covers four mountain days in Canfranc, from SEP 7 to 10: it again includes the five well-known mountain races now spread over the weekend. Uphill, Classic, Marathon, Ultra 70k and Ultra 100k.

The 1,400 places available for all of these tests will be open through the official website CANFRANCCANFRANC.COM. It should be noted that, in the Ultra 100k, given its extreme technical and physical difficulty, the number cannot be bought as in the sister tests, but must be requested attaching a mountain and ultra trail history so that it can be endorsed and, where appropriate, , approved or denied the bib number request.
