PRESENTATION
OTSO ULTRA Trail SERRA DE MONTSANT / 14TH EDITION
OCTOBER 7TH-8TH
The OTSO 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 villages 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…
2023 utsm PRESENTATION (read more)
…The competition reaches its twelfth edition, after being released in 2009 and having increased year after year the number of participants.
The OTSO UTSM is a walking race, affordable, despite its 63km and 3.470m 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 three more races so are the 25km-11km-7km trails, which will be run on Sunday. There is also the possibility of running the race in two stages, joining the Ultra 63k on Saturday and the 25k trail on Sunday, and thus adding one more ITRA point. And this edition we maintain the distance of Marathon-MSM 44km, scoring 2 ITRA points and qualifying for UTMB 50k.
ITRA POINTS: The UTSM is a qualifying race for the Ultra Trail du Montblanc. The queen test (63km) gives 3 points in the ranking. And we maintain the TSM25k with 1 point in the new ranking. There is also the possibility of running the test in two stages, joining the Ultra 63k on Saturday with the 25k trail on Sunday, and thus add one more ITRA point. And we mantain in this edition, the Marathon-MSM distance 44km, scoring 2 ITRA points and qualifying for UTMB 50k.
NOTE: The Ultra Trail distance of 63km will be run on Saturday October 7th, as well as the Marathon-MSM distance, while the short distances of 25k, 11k and 7k have been placed to Sunday October 8th in the morning.
NEWS 2023:
