About the race

The Travesía Las Playitas-Gran Tarajal, an iconic race of the Gran Tarajal Youth Week, has been cancelled for its 2026 edition. The organization, led by the Club Fuertebrazada, has been forced to withdraw due to a lack of support, funding issues, and the inability to guarantee the necessary safety for the event.
