A true ultra. An unforgettable challenge.
104 km | 3,740 m+ | 3 Running Stones | Qualifier for the CCC® of HOKA UTMB Mont-Blanc
The CPS of Mallorca by UTMB® invites you to cover 104 km and 3,740 m of vertical gain in the heart of the Serra de Tramuntana, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, on a demanding, technical, and spectacular course.
From the very first kilometers, this race immerses you in the wildest and most authentic Mallorca. It starts in Cala d’Estellencs in Estellencs, passes along el Camí des Correu to Esporles, and crosses villages steeped in history such as Valldemossa, Bunyola, Orient, Alaró, and Fornalutx, passing through territories of the municipality of Escorca.
From forests and cobbled paths to technical mountain sections, the course takes runners through iconic landscapes such as the Talaia de Cals Reis and the area of Tossals Verds, .
The final stretch, with the legendary Barranc de Biniaraix (declared an Asset of Cultural Interest in 1994), will take you into a landscape dominated by cliffs, scree, and ravines, testing your legs… before finally crossing the finish line by the sea, in the bay of Port de Sóller.
This is a race for the brave. For those who seek more than just kilometers—emotion, a deep connection with nature, and a sense of accomplishment that only a true ultra can offer.
And in addition, it awards you 3 Running Stones for the UTMB® World Series Finals lottery, and the possibility of direct qualification to the CCC® for the top-ranked runners overall or those who qualify through their UTMB® Score.
According to the Race Regulations and the conditions of environmental permits, the courses may be subject to changes or reductions due to weather alerts or terrain conditions.
