We are Pablo & Cristina
Trail-running adventures across Costa Rica, Morocco & beyond.
Wild nature. True connection. Real tribe.
6/7-day running trips, 5 places we call home, our goal is magic.
We share our world, our friends, our family with you. This is not tourism, but something more ancient: using our legs to travel.
We are the best in the field, since 2011 hundreds have run with us. We call them Noma Tribe: those who have joined us in one of our running vacations
6/7-day running trips, 5 places we call home, our goal is magic.
We want to share our world, our friends, our family with you. We don’t do tourism, but something more ancient: we use our legs to travel.
Hundreds of runners have joined us since—want to be next?
We’re Cris & Pablo. Since 2011, we’ve taken runners like you deep into jungles, mountains and deserts.
Places without Wi-Fi. Without noise. Without pressure
We don’t run for fitness.
We run to reconnect—with the land, with others, with ourselves.
Every route is handcrafted.
Every group is small.
And we run every step with you.
This isn’t a race. It’s a return to what matters.
We offer three kinds of experiences. All wild. Each one unique .
For social runners or those with light trail experience who want to discover new landscapes and culture—without pushing too hard.
For runners seeking technical trails and authentic local contact—while still sharing campfire laughs and deep cultural connection.
For ultra runners and wild souls. This is our rawest, deepest journey—through mud, silence and soul.
Because we believe travel should move more than your feet.
At Nomatrails, we don’t offer tours — we create journeys. Our trips are designed for runners who want more: more connection, more meaning, more soul.
We don’t send groups. We go with you.
Every time. Every step.

I did the May 2026 Costa Brava tour and had a blast. The guides were very knowledgeable and adjusted the trails on the fly to match the skill level of the group. Every day was beautiful and thoughtfully planned.
Mari DeGraziaCosta Brava · 2026Costa BravaA truly life-changing experience on the Pyrenees adventure. Pablo, Cristina, Andreu and Jordi are wonderful people and guides — you feel like part of a family holiday from day one. Their passion and love for Catalonia is infectious.
Dominic Fowler-WilliamsPyrenees · 2026PyreneesI did a half week of the Costa Brava running trip and it was everything I'd hoped and more. Pablo and Cristina take incredible care of you — I can't wait to come back for the full week.
I ran the magnificent Costa Brava trails in May and it was stunning. Pablo knows the most beautiful trails and every day was a new discovery.
From Girona to Cadaqués and beyond, on foot — a week of vibrant locals, medieval villages and stunning coastline. Unforgettable.
This was the best time ever! We went to Costa Brava in May 2026 and it exceeded our expectations. Pablo and Cristina are wonderful.
I did the Costa Brava running trip in 2026. The whole time it felt like I was running in a dream — and every hotel was beautiful.
La millor experiència de la meva vida en format viatge! En Pablo, la Cris i els seus fills són únics — et fan sentir com un més de la família.
Epic! Even though I arrived having caught some plague on the aeroplane, Cristina and Pablo were exceptionally flexible and looked after me.
It's difficult to put into words the profoundly positive impact these trips have had on my life.
Carrie LandinCosta BravaCosta BravaA week with Nomatrails from the Pyrenees to the Mediterranean wasn't really a running trip in the usual sense — it was so much more.
It's a rare occurrence that you feel like old friends with a group of people after just a few days together.
I had a fantastic trip in Sicily! The running routes were trails over many mountains and down into beautiful beach towns.
I ran with Pablo and the group in Sicily. I had a fall — and the care and support I received from the whole team was exceptional.
Best running adventure ever! Pablo, Abdu and their team of running guides take care of everything before, during and after.
Anna EvansMoroccoMoroccoIn november 2024 ben ik met Nomatrails in Marokko wezen trailrunnen. Ik wist niet waar ik aan begon, maar het werd onvergetelijk.
Amazing time and amazing guides.
We've run Costa Brava (twice, 2016 & 2022), Morocco (2022) and Costa Rica (2021). Each trip was unique and unforgettable.
I have such treasured memories from my running adventures with Nomatrails — I've now participated in eight trips.
One of the best and favourite lifetime experiences for me as a runner and global traveller — I've done five trips.
TC Tanapipatkulchai5 trips · Spain & beyondAll tripsMy son and I ran the Costa Brava with Pablo and could not have had a better experience — organised, scenic, full of history, with great food and company. I've traveled, raced and explored in over 70 countries, and you will not find a better guide than Pablo.
Mark WheelerCosta Brava · 2017Costa BravaI completed the 96.3-mile Costa Rican South Pacific jungle expedition and it was truly amazing. Pablo and his team have created a unique travel opportunity not duplicated anywhere else — breathtaking mountain views, friendly locals, delicious food. Take it… you will not be disappointed.
I did the Atlas to Sahara in November 2018 and had the best time of my life — an adventure like no other. Breathtaking, drastically different landscapes with the best people. You'll find dozens of standard tours, but this is truly unique: one of the best adventures your money will ever buy.
We saw places no tourist will ever see — lunch in the jungle at a local's home, fresh coffee from a farm. Pablo and his crew are a bunch of legends. You'll make long-lasting friendships. I totally plan to do more adventures with them.
My first running holiday and I was apprehensive, but my fears vanished on meeting Pablo and Pascal. Their passion is invigorating, the trails meticulously planned, the places we stayed fantastic — with surprises along the way. I cannot recommend Sicily highly enough.
My husband and I ran the Costa Brava with Pablo in 2012 and it remains one of our favourite trips of all time. From a converted monastery over the sea to a farmhouse in the hills, evenings were Michelin-starred meals and spa. I can't say enough good things.
Trip of a lifetime. Amazing guides and a great cohesive group who help each other through the thick of the Costa Rican rainforest. The best way to see the country and meet its people — all on your own two feet.
Jody YokenCosta Rica · 2017Costa RicaA trip of a lifetime. Costa Rica was more challenging, but Morocco stole my heart with its beauty. Abdu is the king of Morocco and one of the best guides you'll meet in the world — a fantastic group I still keep in touch with today.
The Costa Rica expedition was a great adventure — great running, beautiful nature. We had a super group and Pablo and Cristina were the best hosts ever. Everything was well organised and the trip ended too soon!
We ran from tiny Mediterranean town to town across the rural countryside — popping down to swim in the azure sea, then back up into the forested hills. An amazing way to experience a rural Spain you'd never find on your own.
Pablo and Pascal captured the essence of Italy — cobbled streets of historic towns, coastlines with big skies, crystal-clear Mediterranean swims and beautiful sunsets. Relaxing, fun, cultural and adventurous, with amazing food. Mille grazie.
Rachel HollandSicily · 2024SicilyThe group dynamic and support was amazing. I could never have imagined or prepared for what we experienced — incredibly difficult, physically and mentally, but because of that, extremely rewarding.
Holly ChaseCosta Rica · 2019Costa RicaAn incredible journey running with Pablo and the tribe from the Pyrenees to the Mediterranean Sea. We had a blast and would totally recommend it for your next running adventure.
A phenomenal experience. The running routes are unparalleled, and the food and drink are an equal part of it. Pablo truly welcomes you into the regional culture — this trip changed my outlook on the world and on running.
A trip I will never forget — this really is one of a kind. Be prepared to put in some hard work and you'll be rewarded with spectacular sights in such a beautiful country. I hope to run with Pablo again soon.
We've done two running trips with Pablo — the Costa Brava, then the Pyrenees. Both were excellent. I could not recommend him more highly.
Pablo is equal parts historian, entertainer, storyteller and amazing runner — often barefoot. Cristina is the unsung hero who handles everything behind the scenes. By the week's end you've made life-long friends and experienced a country in a way few ever will.
Kristene JordanRun the World AdventuresAll tripsA running vacation is a small-group adventure holiday built around running the world's most beautiful trails — not racing.
Instead of training alone for a marathon, you spend a week running wild trails with a handful of like-minded runners and expert local guides who carry every logistic so you can simply run, explore and recover. Days follow a natural rhythm: a guided trail run through mountains, coastline or desert in the morning, then real food, rest and local culture in the afternoon. At NomaTrails we have been designing and guiding running vacations since 2011.
A NomaTrails running holiday is different from a running tour that shuttles you between hotels. Our trips are point-to-point journeys on foot, village to village, at a pace the whole group can enjoy. You do not need to be fast — you need to love being outside, moving through wild places on your own two feet.
Every NomaTrails running vacation is fully guided by the founders and local experts who know each trail intimately. We run five destinations, each a completely different flavour of trail running holiday:
Whether you want a demanding mountain adventure or a gentler coastal running holiday, there is a NomaTrails trip that matches your level and your sense of wonder.
We keep our groups small on purpose. Small groups mean real friendships, safer trails, and a guide who actually knows your name and your pace. NomaTrails is family-run — the same people who design the routes are with you on the trail, at dinner, and around the fire at night. That is why runners come back year after year, and why so many of our trips sell out ahead of time.
