⛰️The mountain doesn’t know what you paid for the race. 💳

BUT YOU DO.

The rocks don’t change.
The climbs don’t change.
The views don’t change.

So when two races take you into the same mountains, what makes one worth more than the other?

The organisation? 🗃️
The atmosphere? ☀️
The experience? 🌄
The brand? 🏷️
The stones? 🪨

👇 Big-brand or independent race - which do you prefer?

This is exactly what we’ve been looking at in our European trail race price study.
How much do races actually cost across Europe - and what explains the difference ?

€100. 170K or 20K? 👀

For €100, you could be paying for one of the most expensive 20K races we found…

Or you could be running 170 kilometres. 😳

We analysed 200+ trail races across 11 European countries for our Europe’s Trail Race Price Study 2026.

And the differences in race prices are surprising.

Where did we find this €100 for 170K? 🌍

€40 for a 100K 🔥

Yes, you read that right ...

We analysed 200+ trail races across 11 European countries for our Europe’s Trail Race Price Study 2026 - and we found a 100K for just €40.

🇪🇺 But where is it?
Can you guess the country? 👇

The full study is coming 27 August, with race registration fees compared across Europe, different distances and countries.

Trail running isn't equal. And it's getting more expensive. 📈

For the third year in a row, we've analysed trail race prices across Europe.

And this year, something really stood out:

Prices have increased by MORE THAN 20% year on year.

Across the races we analysed, and across 3 standard distances:

🏃‍♂️ Half Marathon
🏃‍♂️ Marathon
🏃‍♂️ 100K

So here's the question:

Does price matter when you choose a race?

Is a €250+ race worth it if you could run another 100K for €40?

Or is the experience, location, organisation, atmosphere or prestige worth paying more for?

And then there's another question… 👀

What happens when we add UTMB® races to the comparison?

We'll reveal the full results on 27 August

Be honest: when choosing a race, do you care about the price?
