The story

OTSO Travessa d'Encamp in Encamp

The OTSO Travessa d'Encamp, first run in 1983 and billed as the oldest trail race in the Pyrenees, sends runners from Encamp's central Plaça dels Arínsols onto mountain routes of 7 to 84 kilometres, with vertical and children's races rounding out the weekend. Its town-square start makes it one of Andorra's most spectator-friendly mountain events.

The Pyrenees' oldest trail race starts from a town square: the Travessa d'Encamp has been sending runners out of the Plaça dels Arínsols since 1983, and that combination of village heart and high mountain remains its identity four decades on.

What is special

The part that makes it specific.

01

The place changes

Longevity is the headline: a trail race run since 1983, predating the sport's modern boom, with the start line still in the same town square

02

The mystery stays covered

The distance menu — five classic routes from 7 to 84 kilometres on one weekend — covers an unusually complete span from first-timer to ultrarunner, and the routes' documented mix of urban sections and natural mountain paths gives the race a character distinct from resort-based events

03

The city starts moving

All starts from the Plaça dels Arínsols keep the entire event anchored to Encamp's centre
