About Vielha 10K

Vielha 10K is the 10.0km trail race at HOKA Val d'Aran by UTMB 2025 (Vielha, Spain). The race starts on July 2, 2025.

Race strategy

Short race: go all out.

  • Hold your race pace up to 4.6km, but stay in control.
  • Steep 26% wall. Control your pace and stay focused.
  • Control your HR on the first mountain, and go all out on the final descent from 4.6km.
  • Start · 0.0km–1.9km · Race-day nerves push your heart rate up: don't follow the crowd, find your own rhythm.
  • Work · 1.9km–4.6km · Plus 1 more climb. This is where the race is built: steady, solid effort. Climb by heart rate or breathing, not pace.
  • Home · 4.6km–8.3km · Descent of 373m averaging 10%, high point 1264m. Kick for the line: give it everything you've got. Hike the steepest pitches.

Course

The course climbs 600m+. With 60m/km of climbing, this is a true mountain course with sustained climbs and descents. By gradient, 49% of the distance is uphill, 43% downhill and 8% flat. The longest climb runs 4.6km at an average 8.7% grade (401m of vertical). The longest descent runs 3.7km at an average 10.2% grade (373m of vertical). The steepest climb averages 23.4% over 0.7km. The steepest descent drops at 26.2% over 0.7km. Surface: 59% trail, 21% road, 13% smooth, and 5% technical. Flat-equivalent effort: 11.7 FlatKM.

Poles

Trekking poles are worth taking: about 1.5km of the course favours them.

Quad damage

Quad damage risk is low (index 8 of 100): a few descents worth noting, none of them decisive.

  • Control your HR on the first mountain, and go all out on the final descent from 4.6km.
