TERRA DE GIGANTES ULTRAMARATHON

It’s not just another ultra marathon. It’s a long way, between the highest point in continental Portugal and the Atlantic Ocean, in this case Nazaré. A journey of astonishment, of encounter, of contact with traditions, but also of faith without the need to be a believer. It will be a very special time. Crossing a country, in this case Portugal, from east to west is guaranteed to be a huge journey and an extraordinary experience.

But it’s more. It's a bit more than effort and glory. It's courage, management and a lot of resilience along the paths that take them from the Serra da Estrela to the isolated and beautiful Schist Villages in Lousã.

It’s the first month of winter and, traditionally, a time of very low temperatures and rain. Starting at the highest point in Portugal, means to able to begin the challenge with negative temperatures and, who knows, snow. It’s this set of factors, associated with the distance and unevenness, that will make you a giant.
