A new page is being written ... You will find all the information here.

The Andorra Ultra Trail Vallnord is finished ... Before turning this page, we want to present the results of the 11 editions, as well as the 2020 accounts. You will find all the information here.

We would like to take this opportunity to thank you for sharing this adventure with us and see you soon!

Today we were able to deliver the 2020 donations to the 3 collaborating NGOs.

As every year, our runners have been very generous giving € 4 at the time of registration to one or more NGOs. In addition, at the time of the cancellation many have donated all or part of their refund to the Andorran Red Cross.

Since the creation of the Andorra Ultra Trail Vallnord, more than € 77.500 has been donated to NGOs! It is a pride to have been able to count on runners who share our values, Solidarity being one of the main ones!

Thank you so much everyone!

Today we’re sending you this words because we really appreciate all the messages and support samples we’ve received since last Friday. We are flooded with emails and comments from all over the world. They touch our hearts, excite us and help us overcome this ordeal. Thanks!!!! Many thanks to all!

The adventure began in 2009… Andorra Ultra Trail Vallnord was created by a couple of passionate people who wanted to let known and share the beauty of Andorran mountains, lakes, forests and incredible landscapes. At that time, very few people believed in it, they were treating Gerard like crazy to trace these paths. And step by step, the event consolidated and attracted runners (just as crazy as them) from all over the world.

During the first full moon of summer, the small town of Ordino was filled with life around the values ​​of overcoming and solidarity. Our mountains trembled with happiness beneath your feet, the many volunteers were delighted to pamper and encourage you, all dressed in orange, and the whole team was motivated and alert to take care of you as you ran through our peaks.

We can’t hide the fact that these last twelve years have been very busy, but it was a fantastic period and we will only keep good memories of it! The emotions we experienced, the fantastic people we met, the bonds we forged with them have marked us forever. Funny situations or situations of extreme tension have made us vibrate with high intensity.

We will never forget the runners who hugged us reaching the finish line, completely exhausted and who thanked us for the fantastic experience we offered them. We were as tired as them after a week of virtually no sleep and we tried to hold back tears (sometimes unsuccessfully 😉) by sharing the famous beer with them.

Once the event was over, all of you back home, we felt a great emptiness and we watched the movies over and over again, we read your blogs ... All this to retain these magical moments, hoping to relive them the next year or share them with you during our various meetings.

In short, a fabulous adventure is over, but the memories do not fade, on the opposite... We are convinced that only one page is turned to rewrite many more.

Your many messages spur us on and a lot of ideas come to mind! Once rested and after the storm, new projects (certainly very different but not less interesting) will begin to take shape, we are convinced… In fact, we cannot imagine the sequel without you, without the AUTV super family with who we have shared so much in each edition and over all these years!

We will keep you informed and, in the meantime, we will continue to make you dream by sharing good memories ...

So, see you soon, take care! And a very strong hug.

PS: We have seen your request on "change.org" and its success, we are very grateful. Thank you for your great support! On the other hand, do not create any crowdfunding, we cannot accept these initiatives, others are much more needed ...

Today is a gloomy day for us, as we have to communicate that we wont’s continue organizing Andorra Ultra Trail Vallnord. The great adventure started in 2009 ends today and no more editions of the event will be held in the future. We have thought a lot and discussed all the options before making this decision, but we are in a situation that makes it impossible for us to organize the event in the upcoming years.

First of all, and most importantly for us: we want to thank all the runners, volunteers, sponsors, workers and fellow citizens who have supported us all this time. Without you this great adventure would not be possible, and we will keep the good memories of the moments spent together.

The reasons that led us to make this decision are two: economic, but above all, moral.

As you know, the context of exceptional crisis and uncertainty caused by the coronavirus pandemic, led us to decide to cancel the 2020 edition in order to ensure the safety of all our runners.

In that time, the non-payment of our most important sponsor has plunged us into an unsustainable economic situation, making it impossible to refund the entire registration fee. In fact, after spending 8 months preparing the event, and without this sponsor, we were unable to refund more than 70% of the registrations to our runners. We also couldn’t secure the bib for 2021, as we didn’t have the main sponsorships agreement signed.

With this situation we had a loss of about € 60,000. However, we were willing to assume the loss to allow the event to continue.

But, meanwhile, a defamation campaign started, and the names of the event and of our family were dragged through the mud and we even received personal threats, which we had reported to the police.

So, it is the lack of moral support that finally led us to make the decision about not to continue with the organization of the event; we have been unwilling to fight. They cut off our wings; no one is a prophet in his own country…

Although the Andorra Ultra Trail Vallnord is over, we keep the good memories of the 11 magnificent editions we have had, and above all, all those who have accompanied us along the way:

• Our runners from all over the world, always faithful to the event, with whom we shared strong emotions and who we were eager to see again each summer (for which we are seeking redress)
• Our super volunteers who, with smiles and commitment, have been a pillar of the AUTV throughout the years and with whom we have created a family
• Our sponsors and partners without whom this event would not have been possible, and with whom we have worked hand by hand since 2009
• Our employees who had been preparing the 2020 edition, working hard during confinement to respond to all requests for refund, sometimes under insults, they were ready to put all their energy into next year’s event and now find themselves out of work.
• The members of our team who, with professionalism, did everything possible to guarantee the safety of the runners during this great celebration of sport, without forgetting the medical staff and preventives.
• The village of Ordino which provided the ideal environment and atmosphere
• Our beloved Andorran mountains, of which we have explored every corner and that we are proud to have been able to let you discover
• All those who, by their presence with us, their advice, their messages of encouragement and their support made this great and beautiful adventure possible

We thank you from the bottom of our hearts and we have no doubt that we will soon meet us on the paths of this vast world.
