Ultra X Madeira 2026

Ultra X Madeira 2026 invites runners from around the globe to explore one of Portugal's most enchanting destinations: the island of Madeira. Nestled within Macaronesia, approximately 400 kilometers north of the Canary Islands and over 500 kilometers west of Morocco, this lush green paradise offers a unique blend of rugged landscapes and serene beauty.
The race features five distinct distances designed to cater to both seasoned ultramarathoners and enthusiastic trail runners. Participants can choose from an epic two-stage event covering 110km, or opt for one of the single-day races: another full marathon at 110km, a mid-length adventure over 60km, a scenic trek through 50 kilometers of trails, or a more manageable but equally rewarding journey across 30 kilometers.
The island's terrain is diverse and challenging, with steep ascents and descents winding through dense laurel forests, alongside breathtaking cliffs that overlook the North Atlantic Ocean. Runners will encounter natural pools carved into volcanic rock formations, providing refreshing respite along the route. The race also passes through charming towns dotted across Madeira’s picturesque landscape.
Ultra X Madeira promises an unforgettable experience for all participants, immersing them in a world of stunning scenery and rich cultural heritage. Whether you're chasing personal bests or simply looking to immerse yourself in nature's splendor, this event offers the perfect setting for any runner seeking adventure.
The event is more than just a race; it’s an opportunity to connect with Madeira’s unique environment and vibrant community, making Ultra X Madeira 2026 a must-attend ultramarathon destination.
