Manuel Anguita secured third place at the 2025 Transvulcania Ultramarathon, demonstrating his advanced strategic pacing throughout the race. Despite experiencing a personal low at the event's apex, he recovered and finished strongly. In an interview, Anguita shared his motivations for racing in the mountains, his training benefits from living in Grenada at high altitudes, and his positive outlook on varied race conditions. Looking forward, he hinted at another race, the Zegama Marathon, just weeks away, reflecting his ongoing commitment to ultramarathon racing.
I started to run about 10 years ago because I love the mountains. I went with my father into the mountains a lot for his work from when I was six years old.
Transvulcania is a race with altitude, it's good for me because I live in Grenada, Spain, and I train a lot at 2,000 meters.
I felt confident. I ran with a waterproof jacket, gloves, and hat. My pacing was good for the conditions. It was getting colder all the time.
I love La Palma and I love the race. Transvulcania is a race with altitude, it's good for me because I live in Grenada, Spain.
