Just a few weeks ahead of FUGA Penyagolosa Trails 2026, nearly 800 volunteers are already working on coordinating one of the most iconic events in trail running. Their role is key to ensuring the smooth running of the race and reinforcing its commitment to the natural environment.

Yesterday afternoon, the organisation held a coordination meeting with volunteer representatives at the Cajamar auditorium—premium partner of the event—with the aim of aligning the work of the different teams and finalising preparations for April 18.

Coming from 21 collaborating clubs, volunteers play a fundamental role in the development of the race, taking part in essential tasks such as course logistics, runner safety, and the event’s environmental management.

Many of them return year after year, becoming the soul of the race and one of its defining elements, thanks to the atmosphere they create and their dedication at every point along the course.

Race director Tico Cervera highlighted their importance:
“Volunteers are what make everything work on race day. From aid stations to assisting a runner, their work is present in every detail. They are an essential part of the team.”

The race will be broadcast live on the official FUGA Penyagolosa Trails website and on Evasión TV, from 8:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m.

On April 18, all this work will once again come to life in the mountains, where runners, volunteers and the territory come together to bring a new edition of FUGA Penyagolosa Trails to life.
