Miguel Heras (Béjar, 1975) returns to The North Face Transgrancanaria. The runner from Salamanca returns to participate in the Classic race that he already won in 2010 and where last year he finished a little more than ten minutes behind the winner. The 2025 edition will be 126 kilometers long with 6,866 meters of positive elevation and will once again be part of the Gran Canaria World Trail Majors international circuit.
The Joma runner is a legend of mountain races and currently has an ITRA ranking of 903, demonstrating that he continues to compete among the best athletes in the specialty.
In his long career he has achieved victories in several of the most important national and international races, such as his winning poker in the Salomon Ultra Pirineu (2010, 2011, 2016 and 2022) and K42 Canarias Anaga Marathon (2015, 2021, 2022 and 2023) or his first places in The North Face Endurance Challenge California (2010); Transvulcania (2011); Festival des Templiers (2016) and Valhöll Argentina by UTMB (2023). Also noteworthy are his podiums in Zegama-Aizkorri (3rd in 2010 and 2011) and HOKA UTMB Mont-Blanc (2nd in 2013).
In 2024 he won the Domusa Teknik in May and finished the year with an excellent triumph in the 3 Days Ultra Trail Ibiza.
