TRAIL RUNNING

Trail running in Spain is not only great fun, it can help you develop endurance for longer races, ultramarathons and mountain running. You will build up your fitness levels very quickly! 

Abdet is the ideal base with a wide variety of trails to enjoy amidst spectacular scenery, a few of our runs include a visit to the highest peak in Valencia Province (Sierra Aitana) which lies directly to the South of the village. All are very close to our rental house, and you can start from the door for many, or make a short car journey.

It is possible to train all year around, in warmer weather you can set of early from the village in the clear mountain air, running at sunrise.   You can then relax the rest of the day in a local canyon or pool.
