Organiser's Description

Ultra X 110 Azores is a 110km two day ultramarathon that takes place on the island of São Miguel, nicknamed “the Green Island”, one of nine volcanic islands based out in the mid-Atlantic that form the Azores archipelago.

Governed by Portugal, this wild and remote archipelago is characterised by dramatic landscapes, fishing villages, mountain trails, lagoons, and luscious green pastures. Due to the marine influence, the climate of the Azores is very mild for such a northern location and temperatures remain around 20°C all year round.

Course Details

The course takes runners over mountain trails, alongside volcanic craters and dramatic cliffsides, through wooded forests, past waterfalls and rushing rivers, and up and over deep mountain canyons.
The route may change slightly each year depending on the weather and other varying factors. GPX files will be provided to runners before the race.
