A masters women's competitor on the ITRA circuit, she has built her racing record across the mountainous terrain of northern Spain — including the Sierra de Guara Natural Park, a dramatic Pre-Pyrenean landscape of limestone gorges and canyon country in Huesca province that hosts the Ultra Trail Guara Somontano, which she has won — and at major regional events including the Grand Raid des Pyrénées, one of the defining mountain ultra races across the central Pyrenees. The Aragon region sits at the foot of the Pyrenees and provides access to some of Spain's most challenging trail terrain, and Ortiz de Zuniga Murguruza has been a consistent presence on those courses across multiple years of competition, placing her among the experienced and committed figures in Spain's active masters trail running community.
