The organisation of Transvulcania adidas TERREX has announced today the closing of registrations for the Ultramarathon modality, after exhausting all the places in record time. The emblematic challenge of La Palma, considered one of the most demanding and admired mountain races in the world, has shown that it has regained its power to attract both elite athletes and popular runners.

The pace of registrations for the 16th edition is exceeding all expectations and confirms the growing interest to live again the experience of running the backbone of the island from Fuencaliente to Los Llanos de Aridane. Such a fast filling that shows the affection and loyalty that runners continue to have for the Transvulcania adidas TERREX.

In the next few days a waiting list will be set up for the Ultramarathon category, which will join those already open for the Marathon and Half Marathon categories, and it is reminded that these will begin to progress especially from 31 December, the deadline for justifying the qualifying race in the Ultramarathon and Marathon categories.

The Councillor for Economic Promotion and CEO of Sodepal, Miriam Perestelo, highlights the importance that this mountain competition continues to gain worldwide, not only for the exclusivity and beauty of the course, but also for the quality of those who choose La Palma to compete.

"From the Cabildo and Sodepal we continue to work so that, year after year, this event continues to position itself among the best internationally and we continue to make our island known as the perfect place to bring together elite runners," says the island's Sports Councillor, Yurguen Hernández.

With the Ultramarathon, Marathon and Half Marathon modalities already full, the organisation reminds that there are only places left in the Joëlette and Vertical Climb modalities, which still have less than 80 bibs available, so it is expected that they will be filled soon, thus completing the 3,000 places available in total, setting a new milestone in the event. The next edition of Transvulcania adidas TERREX is shaping up to be one of the most crowded and exciting in recent years, reaffirming its status as an international trail running reference.

The Transvulcania adidas TERREX is organised by the Cabildo Insular de La Palma through the public company SODEPAL, with the support of the Government of the Canary Islands, through the Department of Tourism and Promotur with its brand "Islas Canarias Latitud de Vida", as well as the companies adidas, Hotel H10 Taburiente Playa, Hotel La Palma Princess, Hotel Meliá La Palma, Fred. Olsen Express, Cicar, Spar La Palma, Coca-Cola, Libbys and Isola.
