The Joëlettes is a race designed for athletes who require technical assistance, and the Challenge,  in which around thirty athletes took part, divided into three circuits of 8, 5 and 1 kilometres.

In addition, the 5-kilometre Family Race and the Peque Race were held, with twenty  participants respectively.

The fourteenth edition of the Tenerife race, organised by the Cabildo through the public  company Ideco, was attended by 3,200 runners from 65 countries who competed in some of  the 10 different categories.

The prize-giving ceremony, held on Saturday afternoon, was attended by the vice-president  of the Cabildo, Lope Afonso; the island councillor for Sports, Yolanda Moliné; the island  councillors José Carlos Acha, Águeda Fumero and Manuel Fernández; the mayor of Puerto de  la Cruz, Leopoldo Afonso; the managing director of Ideco, Manolo Gómez, as well as  representatives of the companies sponsoring and collaborating in the event.

Tenerife Bluetrail by UTMB®️ has established itself as an essential event for trail running lovers, offering challenging routes and breathtaking landscapes, while promoting values of inclusion, companionship and achievement.
