You know exactly what you are running into
We publish the total elevation gain for every distance, measured on the official route. Few races do. We do, because anyone training deserves to decide with data.
From the marina to the Atlantic, and back
The race sets off from Marina de Vilamoura, crosses the municipality of Loulé with the ocean close by, and returns to the same point, where the finish line waits.
In December, the Algarve gives you what almost no European destination can at that time of year: mild temperatures, good light and roads made for running. It is the right setting to close your season with a race you will remember.
