About this event
Ultra Skyrunning Madeira brings runners to the dramatic volcanic terrain of Madeira Island, where steep ridgelines meet the Atlantic. Based in the mountain town of Santana, the event offers four technical races ranging from a punishing 52km flagship course with 3,600m of climbing to a fierce vertical kilometer. The terrain is unforgiving — rocky trails, exposed ridges, and relentless elevation — but the rewards match the challenge, with sweeping ocean views and lush laurel forests. Previously part of the Skyrunner World Series, this event continues to draw experienced mountain runners ready for a serious test. The combination of technical difficulty and raw natural beauty makes this one of Europe's most respected skyrunning challenges.
