Salomon Koning van Spanje Trail - 6th May 2012

Unfortunately is the subscription for this race closed. We reached the maximum possible amount of Trailrunners for running the Trails in a safe and nature responsible way.

This Trail thank its name to the start & finish location in Gulpen: de Koning van Spanje (the King of Spain) hill. A hill which was occupied by King of Spain during a 80 year war (around 1568). The hill is a tough nut to crack: changing steppness (up to 15%) and more than a kilometre long. This hill is forms the start of the Trail for both distances. A nice kickoff to warm up!
