About Open Agáldar

Open Agáldar is the 21.4km trail race at Transgrancanaria 2027 (Maspalomas, Spain). The race starts on February 23, 2027 at 09:00 AM. The time limit is 5 h 30 min.

Race strategy

Run the downhill at race pace, but focus on the climb.

  • 990m descent. Go easy, save your quads.
  • All downhill to the finish: go all out!
  • Go easy on the first downhill, save your quads on the descents until 13.0km, then run your race pace, and go all out on the final descent from 15.7km.
  • Start · 0.0km–2.3km · Race-day nerves push your heart rate up: don't follow the crowd, find your own rhythm.
  • Settle in · 2.3km–13.0km · Descent of 990m averaging 8%, high point 966m. Ease in: hold back more than feels necessary. The race is still ahead. This descent is hard on the legs: short steps, stay in control, poles if you have them.
  • Work · 13.0km–15.7km · Plus 1 more climb. This is where the race is built: steady, solid effort. Climb by heart rate or breathing, not pace.
  • Home · 15.7km–21.3km · Descent of 347m averaging 6%. Build to the finish: leave whatever you have left out on the course. Long descent: keep it even and let go only near the end.

Course

The course climbs 613m+. With 29m/km of climbing, this is a rolling, mostly runnable course. By gradient, 28% of the distance is uphill, 60% downhill and 12% flat. The longest climb runs 2.6km at an average 11.6% grade (304m of vertical). The longest descent runs 13.0km at an average 7.6% grade (990m of vertical). The steepest climb averages 25.9% over 0.4km. The steepest descent drops at 50.9% over 0.3km. Surface: 34% trail, 34% road, 20% smooth, and 5% technical. Flat-equivalent effort: 27.8 FlatKM.

Poles

Poles bring little benefit here: only about 1.7km of pole-friendly terrain.

Quad damage

Quad damage risk is low (index 18 of 100): a few descents worth noting, none of them decisive.

  • Go easy on the first downhill, save your quads on the descents until 13.0km, then run your race pace, and go all out on the final descent from 15.7km.
  • #1 · 0.0–13.0 km · 990 m D−, -7.6% · 8.2 km ahead → control
