In women's race, the Canadian Claire Heslop dominated from the very beginning of the race, with local runner Sandra Moreno hot on her heels. At the km 61.4 Moreno took the lead and built up a gap of just one minute. But in the last 20 km the Canadian overtook the Canarian runner, gaining three minutes by the finish line, with a total time of eleven hours, fifty seven minutes. Third position would go to Latvian Elina Kabalina.

The Trail Sky TAA50, a medium course of 50 km, started at Plaza de Tunte. All the finishers can attest to the harshness of this race, with temperatures that exceeded thirty degrees and haze prevailing during the whole day. There was a tough fight for the final victory between Ramón José Roger and Enric Gómez in the men's race. They passed together by Pico de Las Nieves, Cruz de Tejeda and Artenara. The final victory went to Roger, with Gómez second. In women's race, the win went to the Slovenian Ana Flasker.
