A day to enjoy with the family
On Saturday, July 4, Pla de Beret will once again come alive with families, music, and young runners for a new edition of the Trail Festival Baqueira Beret, one of the most special days of HOKA Val d’Aran by UTMB®. While VDA runners tackle the Beret section with 100 kilometres already in their legs, the youngest participants will enjoy their own adventure filled with races, games, and mountain fun.
Since its first edition in 2021, the Trail Festival Baqueira Beret has become much more than a sporting event: it is a morning to share with family, discover trail running from an early age, and experience the unique atmosphere that fills the Val d’Aran throughout event week.
KIDS RACES
Young runners will also have their chance to feel like true champions in the Kids Races, an activity specially designed for children aged 4 to 12 years old.

The activity is non-competitive, with no timing or rankings: the goal is simply to have fun, share the experience, and enjoy the excitement of crossing the finish line.
All participants will receive a finisher medal and will be able to recharge their energy at the refreshment station available after the race.
