This week, the mountain village of Canfranc, Spain, hosts the 2025 World Mountain and Trail Running Championships from Thursday, September 25 through Sunday, September 28.
Four races take place as part of these world champs:
- Trail World Championships Long Trail and Short Trail
- World Mountain Running Championships Uphill and Up and Down
We’ll livecast each race over on iRunFar’s X feed with text and photo reports. We’ll also live blog the same material below in this article. We are covering the Trail World Champs Long Trail in the greatest depth, and are providing lighter coverage of the other three races.
Thanks so much to The North Face for sponsoring iRunFar’s coverage of the 2025 World Mountain and Trail Running Championships!
