Running towards the sky is a challenging and sensational experience! And if the experience takes place in areas classified by UNESCO as World Biosphere Reserve and Natural World Heritage, everything becomes even more intense!

Santana’s municipality, located in the north of Madeira Island, hosts this event. The natural landscapes, together with the great biodiversity and geodiversity in the route, make of Santana one of the most spectacular places to practice this mountain sport and turn this race into an incredible vertical race challenge!
