START

The Sprint Race and the Walk begin next to the Church of the parish of Posto Santo, a starting point that inspires both the most experienced and the occasional adventurer.

Although the distance of the Sprint Test is shorter, the challenges remain intense, offering participants an experience full of emotion and overcoming. The Walk, with the shortest route, promises to surprise with its difficulty, taking participants to explore little-traveled trails, where the natural beauty of the island is revealed in every step.

Athletes ascend the first hill along the Grota do Medo, converging to the same meeting point for all races at Serra do Morião, then descending through Canada do Breado to the "gates" of Angra do Heroísmo, Nasce Água.

Upon reaching Alto da Memória (or Outeiro da Memória), the vibrant colors of Jardim Duque da Terceira lie at the athletes' feet. The entire descent to the center of the World Heritage city is done within the garden, featuring various exotic species. The finish line is right there!

Crossing the historic streets of the most beautiful Azorean city, passing by Fortaleza São João Batista, and entering the Municipal Park of Relvão culminate in a race full of emotions, scents, images, prowess, and courage. It marks the end of a race where we wish to return, and where nostalgia is already knocking at our door.
