The next edition of the Tenerife mountain race, the Tenerife Bluetrail by UTMB, is scheduled to take place from April 8 to 10, 2027. This event, marking its fifteenth edition, will introduce significant changes to its sports program, aiming to reinforce its prominence in the global trail running calendar.
The Cabildo de Tenerife has announced that the race will feature new modalities and adjustments to some of its routes. Among the key novelties is a 67-kilometer distance, whose exact route is yet to be finalized, and an extension of the 73K race, which will add approximately ten kilometers. A new Vertical modality will also be incorporated.
“"The race will return with greater strength and a reinforced, responsible, and prepared structure. The incorporation of new distances and the revision of routes respond to the desire to evolve and offer a more complete, demanding, and attractive experience for all runner profiles."
Registrations are set to open in June, beginning with a 48-hour priority sales period for athletes who were unable to participate in the canceled edition. Subsequently, registration will open for runners with a valid UTMB Index, and in a third phase, for all other interested athletes.
The Tenerife Bluetrail by UTMB in 2027 will offer eleven modalities and five race categories, all linked to earning Running Stones. These credits are essential for entering the lottery to participate in the HOKA UTMB Mont-Blanc in Chamonix, the culminating event of the UTMB Series circuit.
The announced program includes distances such as the Tenerife Bluetrail 110K (100M category, 4 Running Stones), the 83K (100K category, 3 Running Stones), the 47K (2,600 meters of positive elevation gain, 2 Running Stones), and the 24K (1,300 meters positive, 1 Running Stone). The 67K race is awaiting homologation.
A crucial aspect of the 2027 edition will be its adaptation to environmental regulations. The organization, in collaboration with the island's Cabildo, is committed to meeting the conservation requirements for protected natural areas, especially within the Teide National Park. The modalities that cross the park, the 110K and 73K, will be limited to 400 runners, in accordance with the Master Plan for Use and Management in effect since late 2025.
