"The all-uphill climb is 6.4 kilometers (4 miles) in distance, with a steady 990 meters (3,248 feet) of elevation gain. This is the event's only race that doesn't start from the Canfranc International Railway Station. Instead, it starts two kilometers north at the Hotel Santa Cristina. The course climbs through a black pine forest to a finish high on Larraca Mountain in the Spanish Pyrenees."
"Following the 2022 event in Thailand (which was delayed a year due to COVID-19) and the 2023 event in Austria, this is the third time that the World Mountain and Trail Running Championships have come together under a common umbrella, combining the Uphill and Up and Down races of the WMRC and the Long Trail and Short Trail races of the Trail World Championships. The merging has certainly added to the event's prestige."
"Runners from 49 countries will take part in the men's race, and the women's race has 44 different countries represented. There is a 24,000 Euro prize purse between the men's and women's races, with 5,000 Euro to the winners and cash payouts through fifth place. To see more of who is racing, check out the complete start list for all of the events."

The all-uphill course covers 6.4 kilometers with 990 meters of elevation gain, starting at Hotel Santa Cristina and finishing on Larraca Mountain through black pine forest. The combined championships reunite WMRC and Trail World Championship races after 2022 and 2023 editions. The men's race includes competitors from 49 countries and the women's from 44. The total prize purse is €24,000, and live race-day coverage will be provided, sponsored by The North Face.
