Maratón del Meridiano

The way the people of El Hierro preserve the legacy passed down to them is reflected in every kilometer of this 42-kilometer distance. All the effort of their ancestors, who carved slopes and cliffs to find impossible paths, has today become trails leading participants to magical places such as the Mencáfete Reserve, a prehistoric forest that, as one traverses it, reveals what a landscape thousands of years old looked like in its origins. The ancestral sounds of Sabinosa push runners toward the highlands of Cres, where a door opens to a fantasy shaped by the stoic silhouettes of centuries-old junipers during an unforgettable stretch of the race. Pulses of Herreño history will provide the drive to ascend from the Sanctuary of Los Reyes to the peaks of the Julan slopes, where the sensation of flying above the vast blue of the Mar de Las Calmas emerges. From there, volcanic cones watch as participants advance with primal rhythms along the ridge leading to the highest peak of this remote island. Malpaso points to Dos Hermanas to mark the start of the dizzying descent toward the Herreño warmth that will flood the finish line of a journey through time that will always be remembered.

The way the people of El Hierro preserve the legacy passed down to them is reflected in every one of the 9 kilometers of this route. All the effort of their ancestors, who carved slopes and cliffs to find impossible paths, has today become trails leading participants to magical places such as the Mencáfete Reserve, a prehistoric forest that, as one traverses it, reveals what the landscape looked like in its original form thousands of years ago, before beginning the dizzying descent toward the Herreño warmth that will flood the finish line of a journey through time that will always be remembered.
