The story

Olympus Race Andorra in El Tarter

Olympus Race is an obstacle-course-racing weekend on the ski slopes above El Tarter in Canillo, with formats from a hundred-metre obstacle gauntlet and short sprint courses to the flagship Zeus mountain course stacking dozens of obstacles onto steep resort terrain. Spectator-friendly amphitheatre slopes and children's races make it as much a family mountain event as an athletes' one.

Ski slopes above El Tarter swap snow for obstacle rigs when Olympus Race sets its courses on the Canillo mountainside, turning spring resort terrain into one of the Pyrenees' reference obstacle-course-racing weekends.

What is special

The part that makes it specific.

01

The place changes

The setting does the differentiating: OCR events are mostly staged on flat farmland or city parks, and Olympus Race instead runs its obstacles across real ski-slope gradients at altitude, with the Zeus course combining dozens of obstacles with serious climbing on mountain terrain

02

The mystery stays covered

The hundred-metre OCR100 format — a dozen obstacles in a single sprint lane — gives spectators a stadium-style event within the mountain one

03

The city starts moving

The race has grown into a Pyrenean OCR reference, strong enough to host championship-level fields in recent editions
