The Gerês Extreme Marathon 2025 takes place from December 5 to 7 in the stunning setting of Peneda-Gerês National Park, Portugal’s only national park. Organized by Carlos Sá Nature Events, this three-day event blends road and trail running across a variety of distances — from a scenic night run to the grueling 90KM Extreme Ultra. Athletes of all levels are welcome to take on the challenge and experience the raw beauty of Gerês.
Terra de Gigantes (15 – 18 Jan 2026) is Portugal’s longest trail-running race: an ultra-endurance odyssey of 303.8 km through the raw granite peaks, frozen passes and deep valleys of Serra da Estrela. Starting at 11:00 on the summit road to Torre, athletes have four winter days and nights to cross a brutally technical course that demands total autonomy, sharp strategy and unbreakable resolve. Co-organised by Horizontes Turismo Desportivo e Viagens and Associação Interior Convida, the event is reserved for elite and highly-experienced ultrarunners seeking a transformative mountain experience rather than a simple finish-time.
Celebrating 16 years of adventure and heritage, the Trail de Conímbriga Terras de Sicó returns for its 17th edition with seven races over three days — including the epic 111 Milhas Terras de Sicó, a qualifying race for Western States 2027.
Runners of all levels can choose from ultra-endurance challenges to short trail and walking options, all across the wild limestone landscape of the Sicó Mountains, rich in Roman history and natural beauty.
