RACE INFORMATION
Santana – Madeira Trail Series is a trail running event organized by the Diário de Notícias newspaper in partnership with Madeira Trail Experiences and within the project of AMRAM – Madeira Municipalities Association, who aims to promote trail running sport in all its municipalities.
Santana – Madeira Trail Series takes place in the municipality of Santana, located on the Northern Coast of Madeira Island and the trails are entirely in the parish of São Jorge, with absolute respect for nature. São Jorge is a land of unique landscapes and is equally interesting as far as natural and historical heritage is concerned, being a must visit local in Madeira!
Being an ancient parish of the of Santana’s municipality – with roots in the XVI century – the environment remains calm, rural and cozy. In this parish is located São Jorge’s Mother Church, amazing example of the XVIII century Baroque architecture, and the typical Madeira houses with a triangular shape and straw roofs can also be found here. Half of the parish is within Laurisilva Forest, so it’s easy to understand that it is blessed with magnificent forest landscapes, surrounded by the Atlantic Ocean.
Santana – Madeira Trail Series is a remarkable way to explore the parish of São Jorge! The event has two trails: a 22 km trail and a 11 km trail.
