In the heart of Serra d'Espadà

La Marató dels Dements runs through the heart of the wonderful Serra d'Espadà Natural Park. We work hand in hand with the Park's management in order to promote tourism in the area and open it up to those who wish to participate in a responsible and sustainable rural world, always basing the event on the principles of eco-responsibility.

ONE RACE THAT IS FOUR

The main race, only suitable for real "dements".

The "little sister", but still a very tough and exceptionally beautiful race.

A "half-matathon" with sufficient personality to be a flagship event

A different challenge to enjoy the entire event in a weekend.

Dements is not just a race, it is the very essence of Eslida and Aín. We look to forge a connection between the event and the environment, encouraging synergies that reinforce our links.

A village race

The event is organised by the Club de Muntanya Dements, with the collaboration of the Councils of Eslida and Aín, the Diputación de Castelló and the Natural Park of Serra d'Espadà. But the real muscle of Dements, the real organisers, are the more than 400 volunteers who participate in this project.

"The race is made from the depths of the heart that is in its mountains, it has soul, the soul of a people...you can see that, it's not just another one".

Jokin Lizeaga. Basque coach and great reference in international trail

Only for Dements

Dements is hard, very hard. Its 42.5km, with a positive and negative elevation gain of 3808m, requires a high level of athletic preparation and knowledge of self-management in the natural environment. The cut-off times will require a certain level of demand and strategy. The organisation will not be lax with these cut-off times, for the safety of the participants. THE MARATÓ DELS DEMENTS IS NOT A RACE FOR BEGINNERS IN MOUNTAIN RACES.

Safety has no limitation in runner's bag

Of the entire mass of more than 400 volunteers, more than 100 are located throughout the mountain to ensure the safety of the runners. Where the technological networks do not reach, we compensate with our human network. Our main focus is on safety, placing resources where you might not even expect them (ambulances, firefighters, civil protection, as well as our own mountain, safety and traffic managers).


"Oustanding race, security a 10, refreshment points a 10, finish line a 10, prefect marking, unbeatable treatment, chapeau."
