- Where and when is packet pickup?
- Packet pickup typically takes place at the Race Village near Pont de l'Exposition on Friday and Saturday. Ensure you bring a photo ID and your registration QR code.
- Is there a mandatory gear list for EcoTrail Valencia?
- Yes, even for the entry-level distances. You usually need at least a 0.5L water capacity, a reusable cup (it is an eco-race with no plastic cups), and a mobile phone.
- Does the course include a lot of elevation?
- While Valencia is known for being flat, the EcoTrail route heads out of the city into the Turia Natural Park. It is undulating but significantly less technical than mountain trails.
- How do I get to the Pont de l'Exposition?
- The Alameda Metro station (Lines 3, 5, 7, 9) is located directly underneath the bridge. It is one of the most accessible start points in Valencia.
- Can I use road shoes or do I need trail shoes?
- Hybrid or light trail shoes are recommended. Much of the course is on compact gravel paths and riverside trails where road shoes might lack grip if it rains.
- Are there cut-off times?
- Yes, cut-offs are enforced at mid-way aid stations and the finish line. For the 80km, the limit is typically 12 hours, while the marathon is more generous.
