- What is the terrain like for the Alameda Trail?
- The course features a mix of technical single track and wide dirt paths. Expect clay-heavy soil which can become very sticky if it rains shortly before the event.
- Where is the packet pickup located?
- Bib collection typically takes place at the Polideportivo Municipal de Torres de la Alameda on the Friday afternoon and Saturday morning before the race.
- Is mandatory gear required?
- While it varies by distance, the marathon and longer trails usually require a thermal blanket, a whistle, and at least 1 litre of water capacity.
- Are there hydration stations on the course?
- Yes, but keeping with environmental trail ethics, the race is 'semi-self-sufficient'. You must carry your own reusable cup as none are provided at the stations.
- How do I get to Torres de la Alameda from Madrid?
- The easiest way is by car via the M-300. Alternatively, take the Cercanias train to Alcala de Henares and then a local bus (Line 231 or 232) to Torres.
- Is the course hilly?
- Yes, it is a trail race. Expect significant elevation gain with short, steep climbs through the local hills and plateaus of the Alcarria region.
