Ultra Trail Spain

I have just got back from the Christmas Running Holiday organised by Sarah and Steve. Wow! It was absolutely incredible. The location is idyllic and accommodation in really spacious, traditionally decorated apartments is of a very high standard. The organised runs in the hills of Andalucia are jaw droppingly beautiful. They ranged from 14 to 21 miles and had plenty of elevation gain to provide enough of a challenge.
What is special and unique about Ultra Trail Spain is the wonderful way that Sarah and Steve take care of their runners. They clearly love what they do. Their attention to detail is superb - from providing very regular check points with drinks and a range of snacks, to making sure that every single person feels totally comfortable running at their own individual pace. In a way they treat you like family.
Now that I am home I can't wait to book a return visit.

I had such an amazing week of running with Sarah and Steve at Ultra Trail Spain. They tailored each run to my goals and abilities and were super flexible in adjusting depending on how I felt. The apartment was perfection; the village of Moclin is stunning; and Sarah and Steve are just awesome people and incredible runners. I loved hearing from them about the local history and mountain running/racing. Definitely want to join them again for a running holiday in the future!

I've just returned from a Christmas running holiday with Sarah and Steve. It was fabulous. A lovely variety of routes with a mixture of led and self-guided sections. Sarah and Steve have a wealth of knowledge about running and the local area, and they are always willing to share that with you. The accommodation was clean and spacious, and the food was just what I needed after a day of running. I was quite anxious about whether I would be fit enough to complete the planned runs, but I needn't have worried - all the routes could be tailored to the needs of the runners and there was no judgement if someone wanted to cut their run short.

Sarah and Steve are fabulous hosts who ensured that our stay was as comfortable as posible. We enjoyed great running and walking routes and took part in a local trail race. Lovely food offered and plenty of nutritional tips / advice for training and racing. Moclín has awesome scenery and you get to see the best of it whilst running the trails. Looking forward to returning.

I had a great week at Sarah’s and Steve’s ultra-trail running centre at Moclin. I was sent a running plan before I left home. Each day runs were structured according to my ability and needs-training for a marathon at the end of Oct. The area is stunning, and the trails were varied. The apartment I stayed in had everything I needed, and it had a nice outdoor area to sit in the afternoons. I got the ‘prepared lunch’ every day and it really gave me 'food for thought' on making changes to my own diet to be more nutritious and provide more energy for long runs/muscle repair etc. Sarah and Steve were very welcoming and were helpful and supportive throughout my week, even when at times I struggled a little! I learnt a lot from them, they are very knowledgeable and have a wealth of experience. I highly recommend staying here! And finally I got my ‘mojo’ back! Thanks again, Mags

Have just returned from a great weeks Trail Running in Moclin and the surrounding area with Ultra Trail Spain.
Everything exceeded my expectations and the hospitality of the hosts Sarah and Steve was top notch. Nothing was too much trouble. The attention to detail from start to finish made the whole experience stress free.
Would highly recommend

This was our 4th trip to Moclin for an Ultra Trail Spain holiday and following our ups and downs throughout lockdown we wondered what to expect. Sarah and Steve planned a wonderful week using a mix of new and well-known trails to coax us back to running enjoyment. They could not do enough to help us and we thoroughly enjoyed our week, plus feel ready for our next event. I would recommend Ultra Trail Spain for anyone, newbie runners, walkers or experienced alike.

Thank you Sarah and Steve.

I joined Ultra Trail Spain on a trail technique running holiday, and I had a really wonderful time! Sarah and Steve go out of their way to make you comfortable, assess your level of ability and cater the holiday to your needs.

Running is not my first sport, but I was still able to improve my running ability and confidence, and learn some fun technical skills which we then put into practice in the beautiful mountains around Granada. Sarah is a wonderful teacher, very patient and paired me up with people of similar ability so we could encourage each other.

The accommodation was very pleasant, clean and welcoming in the beautiful and friendly village of Moclin. Sarah and Steve clearly have a real knowledge and love of the surrounding area that was a real pleasure to see. If you want to challenge yourself with trail racing (maybe for the first time) and learn some skills, I would definitely recommend!
