Marató Vall de Cardós

La Marató Vall de Cardós runs through some of the most emblematic corners of the valley, with start and finish at the Camping de la Borda del Pubill, in Ribera de Cardós. The route combines paths and forest tracks in the Natural Park of the Alt Pirineu, moving from fast sections alongside small villages to technical high-mountain sectors, with alpine ridges, lakes and summits above 2,800 metres. The marathon totals around 46 km and 3,200 metres of elevation gain, with a first major climb up to the tuc de Lo Calvo and a long passage along the Campirme ridge, before tackling descents and new ridgelines up to the Pui de Tavaca. It is a demanding event with an alpine character, with refreshment stations, equipment checks and an organisation that is very focused on safety and respect for the environment.
