Castellà de la Plana, Spain · Thursday 25 February 2027
This flat trail marathon in Castelló takes place in February across terrain that barely breaks 40 meters of elevation, making it a solid choice if you're after a fast time or testing your endurance without the grind of sustained climbing. The course sticks to dirt and natural surfaces throughout the 42.2 kilometers, so expect your legs to work differently than on road races, with more give underfoot but also more technical footing to manage. With minimal elevation change and a winter date, conditions should favor steady pacing, though you'll want to verify the trail conditions closer to race day since weather in February can shift quickly. Check the race website for specific details on aid station placement and course marking, as trail marathons often have different support structures than their road counterparts. If you're based in Spain or looking for an early-season marathon to build fitness before spring races, this fits the bill, but factor in the trail surface when planning your training runs.
