About Promo

Promo is the 12.0km trail race at Transgrancanaria 2026 (Artenara, Spain). The race starts on March 5, 2026 at 10:30 AM. It starts in Artenara and finishes in Tejeda. The time limit is 6 h.

Race strategy

Run the climb at race pace, build your speed on the downhill, and go all out at the finish.

  • Steep 40% wall. Control your pace and stay focused.
  • Final 804m descent. Save your legs to go all out on it.
  • Control your HR on the first mountain, and start the final descent from 4.7km under control, then go all out near the bottom.
  • Start · 0.0km–1.3km · Race-day nerves push your heart rate up: don't follow the crowd, find your own rhythm.
  • Settle in · 1.3km–4.7km · Climb of 593m, high point 1727m. Ease in: hold back more than feels necessary. The race is still ahead. Climb by heart rate or breathing, not pace. Hike the steepest pitches.
  • Home · 4.7km–12.3km · Descent of 804m averaging 10%. Build to the finish: leave whatever you have left out on the course. Very long descent: first half under control, then even, let go only near the end.

Course

The course climbs 869m+. With 72m/km of climbing, the course is exceptionally steep, with long hiking-grade sections. By gradient, 47% of the distance is uphill, 53% downhill and 0% flat. The longest climb runs 4.7km at an average 12.7% grade (593m of vertical). The longest descent runs 7.7km at an average 10.5% grade (804m of vertical). The steepest climb averages 39.9% over 0.5km. The steepest descent drops at 48.9% over 0.2km. Flat-equivalent effort: 18.9 FlatKM.

Poles

Poles bring little benefit here: only about 2.2km of pole-friendly terrain.

Quad damage

Quad damage risk is low (index 13 of 100): a few descents worth noting, none of them decisive.

  • Control your HR on the first mountain, and start the final descent from 4.7km under control, then go all out near the bottom.
  • 4.7–12.3 km · 804 m D−, -10.5% · 0.0 km ahead → even, first half under control, let go at the end

On race day, start temperatures have historically ranged from 10°C to 13°C, with around 8°C at the highest point; the chance of precipitation is about 15%.
