Event information

About the event

Tinajo You Trail held its tenth edition on Friday 4 and Saturday 5 September 2026, with all three races packed into the Saturday. It is run by the Tinajo town council sports department and everything happens in one place: the esplanade of the Ermita de Los Dolores, in Mancha Blanca. The ninth edition, on Saturday 6 September 2025, drew 650 runners from nine countries.

Cut-offs on the 33 km. The 2026 rules dossier puts the checkpoint at the La Laguneta aid station, km 28.8, at 12:56:30: 4 h 26 min 30 s of racing at an average 9:15 min/km.

Planning your race

Friday afternoon had two family activities: a guided walk through Las Quemadas at 17:00 and the Chinijos children’s race at 18:00, over 400, 800 and 1,200 m by age. Neither is timed, so no classification is published.

The best places to watch are the Guiguán crater and the last kilometre along the Los Dolores access road: all three distances come through. The Merendero car parks sit between 800 m and 1.2 km from the start. Trophies were handed out at 14:00.

No date has been announced for the eleventh edition; recent ones have been run on the first weekend of September. The next big trail on the calendar is Haría Titán, in November.
