    About SKY Baqueira Beret

    SKY Baqueira Beret is the 18.0km trail race at HOKA Val d'Aran by UTMB 2027 (Spain). The race starts on July 10, 2027 at 09:30 AM. The time limit is 4 h.

    Race strategy

    Run easy on the first mountain, then go all out on the second.

    • Final 626m descent. Save your legs to go all out on it.
    • Steep 26% wall. Control your pace and stay focused.
    • Control your HR on the first mountain, then run your race pace, and go all out on the final descent from 13.4km.
    • 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–7.1km · Plus 1 more climb and 1 descent. Ease in: hold back more than feels necessary. The race is still ahead. Climb by heart rate or breathing, not pace.
    • Work · 7.1km–13.4km · Plus 1 more climb. This is where the race is built: steady, solid effort. Climb by heart rate or breathing, not pace.
    • Home · 13.4km–17.2km · Descent of 626m averaging 16%, high point 2485m. 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. Hike the steepest pitches.

    Course

    The course climbs 900m+. With 50m/km of climbing, this is a true mountain course with sustained climbs and descents. By gradient, 38% of the distance is uphill, 30% downhill and 32% flat. The longest climb runs 6.4km at an average 6.7% grade (428m of vertical). The longest descent runs 3.8km at an average 16.5% grade (626m of vertical). The steepest climb averages 28.5% over 0.4km. The steepest descent drops at 26.5% over 1.2km. Surface: 53% smooth, 23% trail, and 18% technical. Flat-equivalent effort: 25.3 FlatKM.

    Summits

    The highest summit on the course is Tuc deth Dossau (2521m), 13.7km from the start.

    Poles

    Poles bring little benefit here: only about 1.8km 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, then run your race pace, and go all out on the final descent from 13.4km.
    • 13.4–17.2 km · 626 m D−, -16.5% · 0.0 km ahead → even, let go at the end
