If you are passionate about mountain running, then we will give you an opinion on the Trail Running events that we consider to be the most incredible taking place in Portugal.
Azores Triangle Adventure
The Azores Triangle Adventure is a fantastic trail running race that takes place over 3 days, with 3 stages. It traverses the most emblematic landscapes of the three islands of the Azorean Triangle: São Jorge Island, Pico Island, and Faial Island, covering a total of more than 80Km.
Excellence event “A true work of art on a journey through the jungle located in the middle of the Atlantic. Each segment tells a different and magnificent story with a stunning view on the horizon!”. The spirit of the group, the camaraderie, and the hospitality of the Azoreans are other positive points to highlight.

Miut
The Miut – Madeira Island Ultra Trail is organized by the Mountain Club of Funchal. A stimulating challenge, to cross the island from side to side, in a northwest-southeast direction, starting in Porto Moniz, at sea level, passing through the highest points of the island and then returning again to sea level, in Machico. A journey that transports the participant to the imagination of other times where the soul of the Madeiran did not let itself be defeated by the vicissitudes of the island's orography.
It is the national event with the greatest international visibility, a race with an extremely high degree of difficulty, with ascents of 15 to 20% inclines.
The next Miut – Madeira Island Ultra Trail is scheduled for November 20, 2021, and will be its 12th edition, but it is better to start thinking about 2022 as registrations for this event sell out in a few hours.
