Transvulcania Ultramarathon
La Palma, ESP – 75km +4,350m
On the Series since 2012, it is a hub for the world’s top runners. It perfectly fulfils the ‘sea to sky’ concept – starting from the ocean and summiting the island’s highest point.

“I couldn’t really enjoy the win until the last metres. That finish line is unbelievable and I just can’t describe the feeling. I was about to cry.”
Pere Aurell Bove
It was a hat trick for Sweden’s Ida Nilsson and a first victory for Spaniard Pere Aurell in the race that once again attracted a field of top athletes from around the world to compete high above the clouds on the magical “Isla Bonita” – a mere speck in the Atlantic Ocean, but a focal point for international skyrunning.
