AzBT® 15K — Pure Intensity

The 15K race of the Azores Bravos Trail® is short in distance but intense in experience. Ideal for those seeking a fast and demanding challenge, it offers a balanced combination of elevation gain, technical trails, and striking landscapes.

The race starts next to the church in the parish of Posto Santo. From the outset, athletes face the climb through Grota do Medo, an initial test of endurance and pace management.

The route continues towards Serra do Morião, where one of the most remarkable points of the race is reached. From there, the descent begins along Canada do Breado, leading runners to Nasce Água, already on the outskirts of Angra do Heroísmo.

Passing through Alto da Memória and Jardim Duque da Terceira marks the approach to the finish line, creating a unique contrast between nature and the urban environment. The final meters unfold along Angra’s historic streets, finishing at Parque Municipal do Relvão.

Completing the 15K of the Azores Bravos Trail® is about feeling the essence of trail running at full throttle — a short, demanding, and highly emotional race.
