Peña de los Buitres CXM Trail Pegalajar Natural

"Peña de los Buitres CXM Trail Pegalajar Natural" is a major mountain running event held in the natural surroundings of Pegalajar. The route passes through some of the municipality’s most representative landscapes, with special prominence given to La Serrezuela and the emblematic Peña de los Buitres, an area associated with the flight of griffon vultures and outdoor sports.

The competition offers different categories adapted to various levels: a 19 km CXM Trail with 997 m of positive elevation gain, a 12.5 km Open race with 650 m of positive elevation gain, and a 12 km hiking route. Its routes, of medium-low difficulty, allow participants to enjoy places such as La Serrezuela de Pegalajar, Siete Pilillas and the Veredón-Mojón Blanco trail.
