Muskildia Trail 2026

Nestled within the heart of Navarra's rolling hills and ancient forests lies the Muskildia Trail race series. This scenic trail run offers two distinct distances that cater to both casual runners looking for an invigorating 9K loop, as well as more experienced athletes eager to tackle a challenging 19K circuit.
The event begins with a journey through Muskildia's lush oak forest, one of the best-preserved woodlands in southern Navarra. Here, participants will encounter a series of undulating trails that weave between towering trees and across verdant meadows. The route is dotted with picturesque views of rolling hills and charming landscapes.
For those choosing the shorter 9K distance, the race concludes back at Villatuerta's San Ginés sports complex after navigating through Muskildia’s serene woodland paths. However, for those who opt for the extended adventure, they will continue their journey beyond this point to explore additional terrains that span several nearby villages.
The longer trail takes runners on a circular route that ventures into the territories of Villatuerta, Arandigoyen, Grocin, and Estella. This portion features some breathtaking paths alongside quaint rural landscapes. As participants make their way through these areas, they will encounter the historic Fuerte de San Juan—a fortress dating back to the Carlist Wars—adding a touch of historical intrigue to the race.
Further along, runners are led on an exploration of the Zumaque route, named after an ornamental bush native to Persia but now abundant in this region. This section is characterized by small ascents and descents through scenic trails that wind their way back towards Villatuerta. The final stretch sees participants returning to the starting point at San Ginés sports complex.
Both distances provide a unique blend of natural beauty, historical landmarks, and challenging terrain, making Muskildia Trail an unforgettable experience for trail runners from all walks of life.
The event is meticulously designed to showcase Navarra’s rich landscape while offering athletes a memorable challenge that combines physical exertion with the joy of exploration. Whether you're looking for a shorter adventure or a longer journey through picturesque trails and historical sites, Muskildia Trail has something special in store for every runner who dares to embark on this remarkable course.
