In 2025, the legendary Cursa de l'Alba rises to even greater heights as the official host of the XTERRA European Trail Run Championship, where the region’s top Half and Full Marathon runners will battle for age division titles. Set on the renowned trails of Montserrat Natural Park, this iconic event brings together athletes and adventurers in a celebration of endurance and nature amid one of Catalonia’s most breathtaking landscapes.
The XTERRA Trail Run European Championship is open to any athlete fulfilling age requirements.
However, only athletes representing a country in the region can be awarded a championship title.
The XTERRA Trail Run World Championship is an annual, invite-only event in which participants must qualify by winning age group slots at qualifying events.
