-LAST MINUTE:IN THE “COVID OBSTACLE RACE” TO BE ABLE TO CONTINUE WITH THE 2020 EDITION OF UTSM, THE RACE HAS BEEN POSTPONED TO march/april 2021. The date is not yet agreed.
The UTSM was born from the idea of creating a balanced encounter between a natural environment of a very special value, such as that of the Serra de Montsant Natural Park; the people who inhabit the towns integrated in the territory and the athletes who, with their strong sports and human commitment, will be the ones who will trace the route that unites them.
The competition reaches its twelfth edition, after being released in 2009 and having increased year after year the number of participants.
The UTSM is a walking race, affordable, despite its 106km and 5,700m of positive slope, with the intention of offering you the experience of running in total freedom and semi-autonomy in a framework of hermitic tradition, which served as an isolated place of world to ascetics and anacoretas who voluntarily sought the return to austerity, simplification and contemplation in silence in a perfect environment for it as is the Montsant (hence its name Monte Santo). Apart from the queen test, there are five more races.
RUN THE WORD. The UTSM is part of this unique experience. The best independent races around the world. Run around the world experiencing the uniqueness and authenticity of locally organized races, with the quality standards and equity of a global organization.
ITRA POINTS: The UTSM is a qualifying race for the Ultra Trail du Montblanc. The queen test (106km) gives 5 points in the ranking; Long TSM (83km) gives 4 points in the ranking -canceled in 2020-; and Half TSM (58km) gives 3 points in the ranking. And we maintain the TSM24 with 1 point in the new ranking.
Note: Provisional distances until we have the official routes (UTSM/LTSM)
NOTE: The short distances 24k, 10k and 5k have changed on Sunday 29th November in the moorning. Motif: COVID protocole.
NOTE: The start and finish area has also been modified to become the Sant Antoni Ermitage in Ulldemolins. (15kms to Cornudella de Montsant).
Familiar Trail and iniciation Trail. Short distance and and low technical trail.
RUN IN A UNIQUE ENVIRONMENT: PARC NATURAL DE LA SERRA DE MONTSANT Montsant, a mountain of high symbolism, offers through its landscape the trace of human activity tied to an important natural heritage, which includes a high biological diversity caused by a particular relief of cliffs, ravines and gorges.
SUSTAINABLE TOURISM The European Charter for Sustainable Tourism in Protected Natural Areas (CETS) is an initiative of the EUROPARC Federation, an organization that brings together protected natural areas in 38 European countries. EUROPARC is the managing entity that grants the link to the CETS in the protected areas, in which it verifies that there is a commitment to apply the principles of sustainable tourism in the area of the natural park that requests it and the scope of influence that it defines. It is a commitment between space managers, tourism companies and other entities and agents of the territory.
