One start, one finish and the mountains of Álava in between. What happens between the two is up to you.
Ultra Trail Larre® is a self-supported ultra: no outside assistance and no organiser aid stations. You decide what to carry, when to eat, when to sleep and how to manage your water. You prepare for it like an expedition, not like a circuit.
A tracker follows you for the whole race, and your brevet records your passage through the controls. Navigation is part of the challenge.
It is not a mass-participation race and does not want to be. There are 300 places, and that number is an identity, not a market parameter. For many people, the challenge will simply be to finish.
We cross ranges, villages and vineyards of Álava where people live all year round. We pass through with respect and leave no trace: that is the condition for coming back.

What goes into the mountains with you comes out of the mountains with you. The only trace we leave is our footprints.
Your own rubbish bag in a fixed pocket, always the same one.
Gel and bar tabs tied or pocketed the moment you open them, never “later”.
Decant what you can into reusable bags so you carry less packaging from the beginning.
The specific conditions of the Zero Waste Code will be detailed in the final rules. More ideas in the self-sufficiency guide.

The pre-registration list opens on 1 December 2026.
In order of pre-registration. The short personal description is compulsory: it validates your pre-registration and does not filter applicants. There is no bib reservation and no motivation letter.
No. When you pre-register you receive a reference code by email, and we will email you the payment date in March.
First name, surname, age, sex, email, previous races, whether you are a member of a mountaineering federation, a short personal description and, if you wish, comments. We will ask for your ID number when you confirm your place.
No outside assistance and no organiser aid stations: you carry what you need and manage your own water, food and sleep. The self-sufficiency guide explains it in detail.
There are six controls. Four are confirmed (Agurain, Santa Cruz de Campezo, Laguardia and Peñacerrada) and the other two are still to be defined. A tracker follows you throughout the race and your brevet records your passage.
Honestly, no. Ultra Trail Larre® asks for previous long-distance experience. For your first steps in self-supported racing, the guide suggests shorter distances.
What goes into the mountains with you comes out with you. It is set out in the race rules.

Ultra Trail Larre® is a small race, made with care. If you want to get involved, we start with a conversation, not a deck.
Durable, well-made kit and products that make sense in the mountains. Tell us what you would do and why it fits.
Territory, support and open doors: bodies that want their region to be discovered with respect.
A point of view, a story and a loudspeaker for a race that prefers silence, aimed at the ultra community.
Tracking, safety, logistics and production: the expertise that keeps the infrastructure invisible.
