The Almijara Trail covered 22.3km with 1,100 metres of climbing; the Mini Trail covered 11km.
The inaugural Almijara Trail Kids added a children’s event to the programme.

WHY IT MATTERSThe event brought adult and children’s races to mountain routes in the Nerja area; the children’s race was new this year.

Nerja and Maro hosted three mountain-running races on Monday, November 2. The programme included the 12th Almijara Trail, a 22.3-kilometre course with 1,100 metres of climbing, and the 10th Mini Trail, an 11-kilometre race. Children also took part in the inaugural Almijara Trail Kids.

The main event started at the Enrique López Cuenca Athletics Stadium. The available information says volunteers and supporters staffed hydration points and encouraged runners along the routes through the Sierra de Almijara. A post-race paella was served at the stadium.
