The organization of Mallorca by UTMB®, in coordination with the Direcció Insular d’Emergències of the Consell de Mallorca, has decided this Thursday to cancel the M5000 and M5000 Relays, which were scheduled for Friday, November 1, due to the declaration of an orange alert by the State Meteorological Agency (Aemet).

After a thorough assessment of the climatic conditions, the Race Management has decided to prioritize the safety of all participants, volunteers, support staff, and attendees, as the weather forecasts indicate adverse conditions that could jeopardize the safety of those involved. The organization recommends that runners do not attempt these courses independently.

However, M5000 and M5000 Relays participants will still be able to pick up their runner’s bags at the Ultra-Trail® Village located in Parc Infante Lois, in Port de Sóller.
