The Course
A 100km ultra circumnavigating Mount Teide (3,718m) on Tenerife in the Canary Islands. The route climbs from sea level through pine forests, volcanic badlands, and the high desert of Teide National Park — a UNESCO World Heritage Site that looks like Mars. The course crosses lava fields, black volcanic sand, and ancient laurel forest. The elevation profile is savage: 6,000m+ of cumulative gain as the route yo-yos between coastal valleys and the volcanic plateau.

Lore & Trivia
Tenerife's Bluetrail circumnavigates Mount Teide — Spain's highest peak and the world's third-tallest volcanic structure from ocean floor. The course crosses terrain that NASA has used as a Mars analogue: red volcanic desert, black lava flows, and pumice fields where nothing grows. The Canary Islands ultra scene has exploded in the last decade, drawing European runners with year-round mild coastal temperatures that turn to alpine cold at the 3,000m volcanic plateau. The race name comes from the deep Atlantic blue visible from every ridgeline.
- ▸ Mount Teide at 3,555m is Spain's highest point.
- ▸ The volcanic moonscape was used to film Star Wars.
- ▸ Laurel cloud forest is a relic ecosystem from millions of years ago.
- ▸ Established in 2011.
- ▸ Total elevation gain: 5500m.
Running around Teide at 3,000m — the volcanic landscape looks like Mars, the sky is infinite, and the Sahara is visible on the horizon.
