Every August in the UNESCO-designated Pueblo Mágico of Tequila, the Ultra Tequila trail festival challenges runners with five stunning distances—9 km Piña, 16 km Barrica, 27 km Valle, 42 km Agave, and the epic 60 km Volcán—each route weaving through agave fields, oak forests, volcanic terrain, and panoramic views of the Tequila Volcano. With elevation gains spanning about 210 m on the Piña up to a dramatic 2,200 m on the Volcán course, participants experience a vibrant cultural and natural immersion—from town streets to ridge-line crests, returning through blue agave landscapes into the historic center . As part of the Ultra Trail Mexico Series, Ultra Tequila emphasizes cultural authenticity and trail variety, welcoming both beginners and seasoned ultra runners with professionally marked routes, limited field sizes, and stunning eco-cultural storytelling along the way.
