Desafio Cumes do Marão

About this event

Desafio Cumes do Marão takes runners into the rugged peaks of Portugal's Marão mountains, where steep climbs and technical descents define the day. Four distances from 13km to 48km each pack serious elevation — the shortest gains 576 metres, the longest climbs over 3,300 metres. Even intermediate runners will find themselves working hard on sustained ascents and demanding terrain. The September date typically brings pleasant autumn conditions to these northern Portuguese highlands, though exposed ridgelines demand attention. Based in Ansiães, this event suits runners ready to tackle genuine mountain challenges with considerable vertical gain.
