Good practice guide

MiM and CSP traverse some of the most iconic natural and cultural spaces in the province of Castellón, such as the Parc Natural de Penyagolosa, the Natural Monument of Camí dels Pelegrins, the Sanctuary of Sant Joan de Penyagolosa, and the mountain ranges connecting the coast to the interior.

This is an environment of immense environmental, landscape, and heritage value that we all share the responsibility to protect. That is why at FUGA Penyagolosa Trails we work year after year to reduce the environmental footprint of the race through our own sustainability strategy.

Use recycling points properly

At aid stations and at the finish line, you will find designated bins for proper waste separation. Deposit waste into the appropriate container.

Respect flora and fauna

Always stay within the marked course, avoid cutting corners, and refrain from making unnecessary noise. The race takes place in spring, a particularly sensitive period for local wildlife.

Reduce waste

Use your own hydration pack or reusable cup throughout the race. We eliminated single-use cups from aid stations years ago to curb disposable plastic consumption.
