Pros
  • Absolutely stunning course
  • Really, really challenging hills
  • Some of the most wonderful and friendly runners I've ever encountered
  • A great mix of people from all over the world
  • Really encouraging supporters along the route
  • I guarantee you have never seen this many stars
  • In Tenerife, one of the loveliest places in the world
  • Wonderful race expo
Cons
  • You miss a lot of the beauty because it's at night
  • The downhill is really dicey, and you really need poles
  • If you're not a frequent ultra runner, you may not have any idea how hard this will be
  • Very muddy and slippery, particularly on the downhill
  • Far more hiking and climbing than running
  • Cut off times are very strict
  • I wish they'd given us more indication of what the course conditions would be like

4/5

Summary

The Tenerife BlueTrail 24K is a brutal race, but a beautiful one. You have to be prepared, though, and I wish I knew more going in. That said, it was the most wonderful experience in a breathtaking place.
