Gran Canaria World Trail Majors is pleased to announce the creation of the Short Series by Gran Canaria World Trail Majors to include more trail runners to its already established long distance series. The Short Series follows the same model as the long-distance races, open to all, built on diversity and respect, independent, but aiming to be more inclusive for more runners.
