About the Event

The Santa Maria Trail offers an exhilarating trail running experience on the breathtaking Azorean island of Santa Maria. This race takes runners through diverse volcanic landscapes, rugged coastal cliffs, and lush green valleys dotted with remote trails that lead past some of the island's most iconic spots.
Participants will navigate scenic routes along picturesque bays such as Praia Formosa, Maia, São Lourenço, and Anjos, each offering unique views and challenging terrain. The course features encounters with remarkable geosites including Ilha do Barreiro das Piedades, Ribeira do Maloás (Calçada dos Gigantes), and the striking red desert of Barreiro da Faneca.
This event is designed for trail runners seeking a blend of natural beauty and physical challenge. The varied terrain provides an unforgettable adventure through Santa Maria's rich geological heritage and stunning coastal scenery.
