With views of the Port of Sóller
Port de Sóller - Young Promises
The Port de Sóller - Joves Promeses race is designed for those young people between 16 and 18 years old who want to enjoy everything that takes part in a Mallorca by UTMB® race.
It is a race of 8.5 km and 270m of positive and negative gradient that will allow you to enjoy the coastline of Port de Sóller and also its mountains, agricultural fields and paths.
Leaving from the commercial port, you will visit the beaches of Can Generós and Den Repic, following the route of the GR-221 you will go up towards the Muleta Gran to later leave the GR and start the descent towards the Refugi de Muleta. From the Cap Gros lighthouse, you will once again see the entire port of Sóller and the finish line. There is less left to reach the end!
A fantastic way to get to know the only natural harbor on the north coast of Mallorca.
NOTE: Given the length of the race, refreshments will only be available at the finish line.
In line with the regulations of the event and the conditions of the environmental permissions, the itineraries may suffer changes or be reduced, due to weather alerts or the conditions of the terrain.
