MALLORCA BY UTMB 2025 RESULTS

The Serra de Tramuntana gives no gifts. Its limestone rock, humid nights, centuries-old dry-stone walls, and relentless climbs turn every meter into a lesson in humility.
Unlike the Alps, where elevation is measured in thousands of meters, here difficulty lies in the precision of every step: loose stones, sharp turns, heat, and pacing strategy are the real rivals.

From the epic 138 km queen race to the short CDA crowning today’s finale, Mallorca by UTMB® proved once again that the island is far more than beaches and coves — it’s a cathedral of stone and silence.
Let’s review all four races before diving into each story.

• SDT (138 km / 5,350 m D+): Namberger (13:37:31) & Isla Smith (18:12:55) rewrite history.

• CPS (104 km / 3,740 m D+): Tobias Geiser (09:37:31) and Sonja Kinna (11:24:43) rule the dry-stone trails.

• ETM (56 km / 2,450 m D+): Marcos Ramos (05:04:55) and Isabell Speer (06:02:57) deliver the fastest edition yet.

• CDA (26 km / 1,000 m D+):  Jan Torrella and Nuria Tarragó.

MALLORCA BY UTMB 2025 – 138 KM FOR THE AGES

The SDT (Serra de Tramuntana) is pure Mediterranean mountain spirit.
It starts in Cala Estellencs, a tiny clifftop village on the island’s rugged west coast, and traces a legendary diagonal to Port de Sóller. Between those two points, the course crosses Mallorca’s stony soul: Esporles, Valldemossa, Bunyola, Orient, Alaró, Lloseta, and Fornalutx — continuous climbs, airy ridges, and steep descents along the camins de pedra seca, the ancient dry-stone paths now listed as UNESCO World Heritage. Last year’s DANA storm forced cancellation; this year, the Tramuntana opened its gates to epic running once more.

GOLD FOR HANNES NAMBERGER

At 10 p.m. Friday night, under clear skies and a warm sea breeze, headlamps pierced the darkness between olive trees and holm oaks. From the very first climb, Hannes Namberger dictated the pace — long stride, steady gaze, calm confidence born of many 100-mile battles.

The opening section through Cala Estellencs and Banyalbufar sorted the field quickly: broken climbs, tricky descents, sea views glowing under moonlight. By Valldemossa, cold air seeped through the rocks while the runners’ lights danced like stars above the black sea.

Namberger reached Puig Major, the island’s high point, at dawn with a firm lead over France’s Théo Detienne and Nicolas Gourdon. Amid the whispering pines and mountain wind, he launched a fearless final descent toward Sóller, mixing precision and composure.
He broke the tape in 13:37:31, exhausted yet radiant.

“I knew it would be technical, but not this technical. I’m so happy. My first time at Mallorca by UTMB®, and definitely not the last,” said Namberger, smiling like a man who had tamed the limestone and the heat.

Detienne (13:57:13) and Gourdon (14:38:23) completed an all-European podium.

“The landscapes are unique, with incredible contrasts,” Gourdon added, brushing off the Tramuntana dust from his legs.

GOLD FOR ISLA SMITH

In the women’s race, Isla Smith achieved a double triumph — an overall victory and a homecoming. Living in Mallorca for four years, she knows every turn of the Camí des Correu and every root beneath the oak forest.

She started steady, patient, pacing the night through Valldemossa’s mist and humidity. By dawn near Puig Major she had taken the lead — and never looked back.
She reached Port de Sóller in 18:12:55, beneath a blazing sun.

“I love running in Mallorca. I even enjoyed the night section! I love this terrain and I’m so happy to be here in Port de Sóller,” she said, radiant at the finish.

Behind her came France’s Julie Marini (19:13:34) and Britain’s Charlotte Fisher (19:43:39). Three tough, smiling, weather-beaten women finishing with the sea ahead and the mountains behind.

CPS – CAMINS DE PEDRA SECA (104 KM)

At 6 a.m. Saturday, dawn barely rising, the CPS (104 km / +3,740 m) started from Cala Estellencs.
This course pays homage to Mallorca’s heritage walls and winding terraces among the olive groves.

Italy’s Tobias Geiser took control from the gun. Calm, powerful, methodical, he led wire-to-wire through terrain that demanded equal parts rhythm, focus, and technique.
He won in 09:37:31, ahead of Gautier Bonnecarrère (FRA) 09:51:12 and Andreas Rieder (AUT) 10:11:49.

Among the women, German engineer Sonja Kinna dominated in 11:24:43.

“I loved every kilometer, though the heat was brutal. It’s such an authentic, beautiful route,” she said at the finish, hands still dusted with Mallorca’s white limestone.
Spain’s Ana Cervan (12:18:22) and Britain’s Julie Davis (12:23:58) rounded out the podium.

ETM – ELS TRES MILS (56 KM)

At 8 a.m., from Selva, the ETM (56 km / +2,450 m) got underway with a start list worthy of a championship: Mario Olmedo, Marcos Ramos, Bruno Silva, Candice Fertin-Baccon, Lucie Jasmin, Isabel Calero, and the legendary Emelie Forsberg, returning to racing after maternity.

The first kilometers to Cúber were deceptive — short climbs, loose stone, and rising heat.
Marcos Ramos set a relentless rhythm, gaining control midway and never letting go.
He crossed the line in 05:04:55, drained but elated.

“The race is spectacular. The course left me speechless — technical and tougher than expected, but pure joy,” said the Aragonese runner.

Thomas Butez (FRA) followed in 05:14:51, and Mario Olmedo (ESP) in 05:17:05.

Among women, Austria’s Isabell Speer flew through the Tramuntana trails to win in 06:02:57.

“I love Mallorca. This race is unbelievable. I’m speechless,” she said through tears.
France’s Candice Fertin-Baccon placed second (06:06:17): “Yesterday Chamonix was one degree, and today it felt like thirty! So technical, but amazing,” she laughed.
Sweden’s Emelie Forsberg closed the podium in 06:13:45 — a joyful comeback: > “It’s always special to return to Mallorca. I hope to be back next year.”

CDA – CAMINS DE S’ARXIDUC (26 KM)

On Sunday morning from Valldemossa, the CDA (26 km / +1,000 m) set off along the historic Camí de s’Arxiduc, a route as stunning as it is demanding: cliffs overlooking the sea, ancient oak forests, and the distilled essence of Mediterranean trail running.
