Mallorca by UTMB® wraps up its third edition with victories for Biel Sagués and Natalia Bermúdez de Castro in the CDA

Catalan runner Biel Sagués and Madrid-born runner Natalia Bermúdez de Castro, who is based in Valencia, win the 26-kilometre CDA in 2:00:14 and 2:29:03, respectively. Mallorca by UTMB® successfully concludes its third edition, marked by a high standard of competition, emotion and favourable weather conditions. Since last Friday, 2,396 runners from 64 countries have taken part in the event’s four distances. Lambert Santelli and Maite Maiora (SDT), Marcel Fabian and Henriette Albon (CPS), and Samuel Ponce and Shangave Balendran (ETM) complete the winners’ list for this third edition.

The final finish line now has its winners. Biel Sagués and Natalia Bermúdez de Castro have claimed victory in the CDA, the 26-kilometre race that brings three days of competition in the Serra de Tramuntana to a close. Starting in Valldemossa and finishing in Port de Sóller, the race has concluded the sporting programme of this third edition, which has brought together 2,396 runners from 64 countries.

The CDA decides the final podium places

Biel Sagués was the first to cross the finish line after overtaking Lluc Amor in the final kilometres to take the top step of the podium in 2:00:14. “The victory belongs to both of us,” said the Catalan runner.

Lluc Amor, who had led the race for much of the course, stopped the clock just seconds later in 2:00:51. Mallorcan runner Damian Ramis repeated the third-place finish he achieved in 2025, with a time of 2:04:37.

In the women’s race, an emotional Natalia Bermúdez de Castro took the win in 2:29:03. The Madrid-born runner, who is based in Valencia, dedicated her victory to those affected by the train accident in Urda, in which the daughter of one of her friends lost her life.

Swiss runner Leah Van Der Ploeg crossed the finish line in second place in 2:34:24, in her first-ever UTMB® World Series race. “I’m speechless. I never imagined this would be possible. The race is beautiful: the sea views from the summit, the finish line, the energy of the people, the organisation… I’m so happy,” she said.

Third place went to Irene Guarc Enguita, an Aragonese runner based in Mallorca, who completed the course in 2:34:44.

Three days, four distances and a unique setting for trail running

The CDA brought the sporting programme to a close, following the SDT, Serra de Tramuntana, over 138 kilometres, the CPS, Camins de Pedra en Sec, over 104 kilometres, and the ETM, Els Tres Mils, over 56 kilometres.

In the flagship race, Lambert Santelli and Maite Maiora claimed victory after completing the 138 kilometres and 5,350 metres of elevation gain in 14:38:02 and 18:01:27, respectively. The CPS crowned Marcel Fabian and Henriette Albon, winners in 9:33:46 and 11:23:06. Meanwhile, Samuel Ponce and Shangave Balendran took the ETM titles in 4:53:19 and 5:50:14.

A total of 2,396 runners took part in this third edition, following courses that crossed some of the most representative trails and landmarks of the Serra de Tramuntana. Once again, the event has placed Mallorca on the international trail running calendar, with the mountains providing the setting for all four distances.

The Memorial Guiem Sec: a shared finish line

Sunday’s programme also included the Memorial Guiem Sec, a 7-kilometre charity race in memory of Guiem Coll Bestard, who passed away after a long battle with cancer and whose commitment left a lasting mark on Sóller, Fornalutx and the surrounding area. The Memorial was created to keep his legacy alive and bring that spirit of solidarity into sport, with the aim of supporting the fight against childhood cancer and raising awareness of the impact these diseases have on children and their families.

Starting in Port de Sóller, the out-and-back course between Faro de sa Creu and Far des Cap Gros brought together sport, remembrance and solidarity. The proceeds raised through the Memorial were presented to the Unoentrecienmil Foundation during the CDA awards ceremony.

The mountains as a meeting place

As the final runners cross the finish line, Mallorca by UTMB® brings its third edition to a close after three days of racing across different sections of the Serra de Tramuntana. Four distances, participants from dozens of countries and a shared network of trails have shaped a weekend connecting sport with Mallorca’s landscape and heritage.

The finish line marks the end of the race, but the trails covered by the participants are part of a region whose unique character goes far beyond competition. Mallorca by UTMB® thus brings another edition to a close, with the mountains and sport at its heart.
