Santiago Mezquita

About

Santiago Mezquita is a Spanish trail and mountain runner who has competed on the domestic Spanish circuit and in international ultra-distance events. Spain's trail running landscape is one of Europe's most varied and competitive, spanning the high Pyrenees along the French border, the volcanic terrain of the Canary Islands that forms the backdrop for the legendary Transgrancanaria, the Sierra Nevada in Andalusia, the Picos de Europa in Cantabria, and the Skyrunning-focused mountain circuit of the Iberian ranges. This diversity of terrain and the extraordinary depth of Spanish trail running talent — which has produced multiple UTMB champions, Skyrunning world champions, and consistent world-level performances across both genders — creates a domestic competitive environment of exceptional quality and international standing, and Mezquita has been a competitive figure within this Spanish mountain running tradition.
