...is much more than a trail running event..!

It’s a special journey through the mountains of central Portugal

Experience the genuine authenticity of the Portuguese people, traveling through schist villages, ancestral trails, and places where time seems to have stopped.

Immerse yourself in the culture, feel the silence of the forests, the aroma of the mountains, and the strength of Portuguese roots.

This journey through the natural heritage of Serra da Estrela began in 2011! Over the years, we've covered increasingly greater distances, covering almost the entire Serra da Estrela Natural Park, the largest in Portugal.

From 2025 onwards, this journey has been extended to new horizons, integrating even more natural, historical, and human heritage. The Serra do Açor, the Serra da Lousã, the Schist Villages, the Mountain Villages, and the Historic Villages are now part of the challenge. It’s more of everything... more nature, more tradition, but also more physically, technically, and mentally demanding.

Here, the athlete is seen as the true star of the race. Beyond pushing their own limits, they help inspire hope and drive the recovery of our region, scarred by wildfires. Every step they take symbolizes strength, resilience, and the light that guides both the community and nature toward renewal.
