About the race
A multi-day trail and mountain event organized by Carlos Sá Nature Events with support from the Câmara Municipal de Terras de Bouro, held in Vila do Gerês and surrounding areas from 27 to 29 November 2026. The programme includes an Extreme Mile on the first day, an Ultra event called Extreme 90k and a Race of approximately 12 km on the second day, and several races on the final day with distances near 42 km, 21 km and 14 km.
The event features an Expo Running area and an operational race secretariat across the weekend. A marathon relay is offered with teams of three; each team member runs roughly one third of the marathon distance and teams may choose their relay segments on race day without prior notification to the organization. For relay transitions and some finishes, the organization provides bus transfers to transition points and to the finish area when requested.
Course altitude profiles are available for the 42 km, 21 km, 14 km and 12 km races. Historical results from previous years are maintained and published. Ceremonies for prize delivery take place after each day's races. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
