XTREM COURSE
The Xtrem course of the Costa Brava Xtrem Running has a total length of 135 kilometres, divided into 3 stages. The race starts in Blanes and ends at Portbou. The first stage of this event modality (on the 18th) leaves Blanes and ends that day at Tossa de Mar; the start is at 14.00h and entrants will have to be at the start one hour before the race begins in order for a check to be made on each competitor’s compulsory materials. The course covers 25 kilometres and has to be completed within five hours. The second stage (on the 19th) goes from Sant Feliu de Guíxols to Torroella de Montgrí (Gola del Ter). It is approximately 55 kilometres in length and has to be completed within ten hours. The third stage (on the 20th) is between Roses and Portbou, a distance of 55 kilometres which has to be completed within ten hours.
Nearly all the course is along the GR92 trail, except for the odd section we have diverted off it to make it more attractive. We will be passing natural parks, crossing rivers, going past coves, ruins, delightful villages, and more besides.
