"Under the combined leadership of World Athletics, the World Mountain Running Association, the International Trail Running Association (ITRA), and the International Association of Ultrarunners, several races will take place, namely two World Mountain Running Championships - the Up and Down and the Uphill races - and two Trail World Championships (TWC) - the Short Trail and Long Trail races. Thanks so much to The North Face for sponsoring iRunFar's coverage of the 2025 World Mountain and Trail Running Championships!"
"This preview focuses on the Long Trail men's race, which is 81 kilometers (50.3 miles) in length and takes place on Saturday, September 27, starting at 7 a.m. CEST, which is Friday, September 26, at 11 p.m. MDT. The event takes place in the Spanish Pyrenees, which are known for both their steepness and technicality, and this course will deliver on both of these features in spades."
"The course tops out at 2,572 meters (8,438 feet) on the summit of La Moleta, contains one climb of roughly 1,500 meters (5,000 feet) to get up to that summit, and has what looks to be five more meaningful climbs. This is a unique course for this event, so we're unsure exactly how long it'll take, but an 8.5-hour race for the lead men and a 10-hour race for the top women seems a reasonable estimate."
World Athletics, the World Mountain Running Association, the International Trail Running Association (ITRA), and the International Association of Ultrarunners jointly lead the 2025 World Mountain and Trail Running Championships in Canfranc, Spain, September 25–28. Races include two World Mountain Running Championships (Up and Down, Uphill) and two Trail World Championships (Short Trail and Long Trail). The men's Long Trail is 81 kilometers with about 5,078 meters of climb, starting Saturday, September 27 at 7 a.m. CEST (Friday, September 26 at 11 p.m. MDT). The course loops around Canfranc in the Spanish Pyrenees, topping at La Moleta (2,572 m) with steep, technical terrain and multiple major climbs. iRunFar will cover the races live, sponsored by The North Face. Estimated winning times are about 8.5 hours for lead men and about 10 hours for top women.
