Povoação Trail
The Povoação Trail returns for its 6th edition on March 15, 2026, in the breathtaking region of Povoação, São Miguel Island (Azores). This nature-based event features four distances — Trail Ultra (50 km), Trail (30 km), Trail Sprint (15 km), and a non-competitive 9 km hike — offering something for every level of trail runner.
Runners will navigate technical, scenic trails, including forests, agricultural paths, streams, and mountain slopes, with significant elevation gain (up to D+3500). The Ultra and main Trail events are designed for experienced athletes, while the Sprint and Walk provide accessible options for newcomers.
Organized by HL Runners Club in partnership with the Municipality of Povoação, this event offers a supportive and adventurous atmosphere. It’s also part of the local São Miguel Trail Circuit and may contribute to the ATRP national ranking.
