WHAT TO EXPECT
VERIFIED EVENT DETAILS · DAILY CHORE EDITORIAL COMMENTARY
Trail Running on an Atlantic Volcano
Madeira has become one of Europe's most compelling trail destinations. The flagship 60km route climbs to 2,700m of elevation gain in a loop out of Funchal, moving between urban streets, dense forest and technical mountain trail.
Format
Four distances (15/30/45/60km) all finish on Avenida Arriaga along Funchal's seafront. Courses are ITRA-certified and count toward UTMB Index.
Daily Chore Take
Madeira delivers a genuinely alpine trail experience despite being a mid-Atlantic island — worth treating as a training-camp trip, not just a race weekend.
