If you’ve always wanted to try trail running, hiking or improve your mountain technique, this workshop is designed for you.

What will you learn in our theoretical and practical introductory workshop on mountain and trail running?

The workshop is divided into 6 modules:

• Module 1 – Technique and equipment: correct use of poles, backpack placement and appropriate equipment.
• Module 2 – Efficient movement: climbing and descending techniques, visual control of the terrain, body posture and safer routes.
• Module 3 – Nutrition and hydration: we will talk about what to eat before, during and after training, sustained energy on routes and smart hydration practices.
• Module 4 – Physical preparation: specific strengthening, pre-activation, stretching and injury prevention.
• Module 5 – Safety and orientation: route planning, basic map orientation, signage, risk assessment, and use of recommended apps.
• Module 6 – Environmental ethics: Leave No Trace principles and respect for fauna, flora and the environment.

+ Practical part in the mountains: You will put what you have learned into practice in the field, applying techniques in the Desfiladero de los Gaitanes Natural Park (El Chorro).

You will walk, run, practise and we will correct you.
