Our trails are subject to change as we tailor our days to provide you with the best possible experience under daily conditions. However, you can expect to run from 1 hour to 4 hours, or 10-23km each day, with the longer trails being a combination of hiking uphill and trail running. We frequently stop to re-group, catch our breath, take photos, and soak in the beautiful scenery, so the distances are not run non-stop.

3 (Moderate Difficulty)

This trip is rated a 3, for moderate difficulty. Some of the runs can be cut short, but some of the terrain is steep and technical. Everyone will be able to run their own pace, so the trip is suitable for anyone comfortable with technical terrain. You should be regularly running 10km+ to prepare for this trip. If you need help with your training, let us know! Our very own Anna Frost is a great running coach!

Madeira’s official language is Portuguese and the currency is the Euro (€). While English is widely understood in tourist areas, learning a few local phrases goes a long way. To greet someone, say “Olá” (hello), and to express gratitude, say “Obrigado” if you're male, or “Obrigada” if you're female.

Your home will be the beautiful Quinta do Furão, a cliff-top boutique hotel offering twin-share accommodation (single upgrade available), with stunning ocean views, a hot tub, pool, gym, cocktail bar, restaurants, and cellar door, all set in lush vineyard surroundings ideal for relaxation and recovery.
