The Way of Legends is a premier, fully catered point-to-point Ultra Stage Race on foot, through the historic region of Burgos in Northern Spain.
This renowned event consists of 5 successive stages with a maximum length of the legendary marathon distance of 42km, followed by a final much shorter 6th stage along the historic pilgrimage path of Saint James and on to the finish line at the Cathedral of Burgos, a magnificent world heritage site.
The Way of Legends is a fantastic opportunity to experience the natural beauty and culture of this diverse region nestled between the two largest Spanish rivers, The Ebro and The Duero. Burgos province has always been a frontier region, and a crossroads of many civilizations and cultures, undoubtedly throughout the centuries a witness to many significant historical events.
This year features a completely new “Deluxe” edition of The Way of Legends, traversing the southern wine making regions of the “Ribera del Duero” and the “Ribera del Arlanza” in the province of Burgos, stopping each day along the way at beautiful medieval villages with each stage crossing through a different landscape, each themselves engulfed by a unique Local Legend.
The Challenge will have a total length of approximately 192km, of which less than 3% will be on asphalted roads. The Stages have a wide range of profiles and geographies.
