Terra de Gigantes Ultramarathon

Crossing Portugal, between the highest point and the sea!

It's not just another ultramarathon. It's a long route between the highest point in mainland Portugal and the Atlantic Ocean, in this case to Nazaré. A route of wonder, of encounter, of contact with traditions, but also of faith without the need to be a believer. It's a very special time. Crossing a country, in this case Portugal, from east to west is guaranteed to be a huge journey and an exceptional and unique experience.

Traditionally, winter is a time of recollection, rest and prepare for a new year. Nature at this time of year is inclement, but technological innovation has led to the development of materials that offer protection in extreme situations, thus allowing other possibilities for travel and escape. It was this confidence that made us embark on this Terra de Gigantes challenge.
Welcome to the race where you can be a giant.

What the athletes say…

Here it is easy for us to grow as people, alongside other good people, and this race had the perfect combination of all of that. I participated with a true group of mountain athletes, who became a group of friends, combined with an organization that treated us as if we were family.

There is constant concern for all athletes. There is an individuality that only exists in families. It was an adventure in which we participated surrounded by good people. From the organization, to the grassroots guys, to the other athletes, there was only good energy.

Ana Saborano, Portugal

It was difficult, there is no doubt about it, with very demanding weather conditions throughout the first few days. It was very psychological to fight against all the odds. Everything we went through is indescribable, only those who participated can understand the toughness of this test. It's one of the hardest tests I've ever done.

Isabel Moleiro, Portugal

We thought about giving up at the first base (Piódão), given the weather conditions we experienced up to there, but as we were going together we decided to continue. It was very important to do this race together with a partner, because when he fell I supported him, when I fell he supported me, that meant we were able to finish. If you ask today (arrival day) if I'll be back, I'd say no, but in 5 days, maybe I'll already be registered.

Cesar Esposito, Spain

This race is at the top of the most difficult races I've done. It's different from every other race, but definitely one of the hardest.  Every time I come to Portugal, the people are very good, the organization, the people in the life bases, everything is just perfect!

Luca Papi, France

This is a very demanding race. Not only a race, it's a journey, an adventure. This is my first time in Portugal and I loved it. All is green, people are always smiling, there's a great hospitality. In every base there's always someone nice, and sometimes even offered me home made alcohol drinks, although I don't drink alcohol, I tasted some. Next year I will come to Portugal with my family.

5. PRESENTATION OF THE TEST

The challenge of crossing Portugal from east to west, from the highest point to the beach with the biggest waves in the world, is necessarily for giants. But it's more than that. A little more than effort and glory. It's courage, management, and a lot of escapism along the paths that take you from the Serra da Estrela mountains to the isolated and beautiful Schist Villages in Lousã. These are paths of faith, near the Sanctuary of Fátima, that will lead you to the magnificent and gigantic waves of Nazaré.

FAQs

What type of route do I find?

The route is essentially off-road. For the most part, it is possible to run without any major problems. Technical sections exist and require special care. There are footpaths and water crossings that may or may not have water.

The route follows mainly roads close to towns and villages. None of them will be closed to traffic. To avoid accidents, you must follow all the rules of the highway code.

Is the route marked?

No. The only way to guide yourself, and for us to know that you followed the route correctly, is through GPS.

It's much easier than you imagine!

Will I walk many kilometers alone?

Yes. In some parts of the route the isolation is total. The feeling of isolation will increase as the night progresses.

The organization will have teams with 4×4 vehicles along the route, to help in situations of greater discomfort.

What are the temperatures like at this time of year?

Very cold.

You can also add strong winds, rain or even snow, but also some days of splendid sunshine and very mild temperatures. Regardless of the conditions, one guarantee we give is that the nights and the beginning of the day are freezing.

What are Aid Stations?

These are places where all participants can eat, drink, rest and/or bathe, and where silence and harmony must prevail.

How many aid stations are there?

Eight (8), including the Finish line. All of them have food and drinks.

Can I be assisted on the route?

No. Support outside the Aid Stations (AS) is penalized with disqualification. Assistance outside the AS is only allowed for the organization and for medical help. Any other type of help takes away the possibility of being a finisher.

What kind of supplies will I find?

At the AS, the organization will provide solid and liquid food in the necessary quantity and quality, to replenish energy and hydrate you. The organization will also make sure to provide food suitable for the type of effort you’re putting in.

Are there supplies along the way?

However, the race must be carried out in self-sufficiency, between support bases. Deliberate support outside the AS, is not permitted and results in immediate disqualification.

Do I have medical support?

Yes. We will have a medical team on standby to help anyone who asks.

Can I sleep outside the Aid Stations?

You shouldn’t. Rest, outside the AS, require special attention, such as getting out of the trails/roads, which are mostly used by cars. These breaks must be communicated to the organization.

What do I need to participate?

Be in good physical condition and prepared for the difficulties of the race. It’s also necessary not to suffer from any health problems that limit the practice of ultra-endurance sports.

Is GPS mandatory?

Yes. GPS is the safest way to follow your route.

Do I have to take batteries?

We recommend that you do so. Bring batteries so that your equipment records your entire route, otherwise you will be penalized.

What settings should I have on the GPS?

Before the race, we will send you a manual on how you should configure your equipment. It’s too easy.

What GPS model do you recommend?

We recommend Garmin models because they are the ones we work with. However, there are many other pieces of equipment of enormous quality, precision and autonomy.

What are the minimum GPS requirements to complete the race?

The GPS must be capable of recording at least 10.000 points. It must be possible to change the batteries at any time or have external power supplies. You don't need a map of Portugal to take part in the race. In some cases, some people even give up the map, in order to be guided solely by the line shown on the GPS screen.

I have never “navigated” with a GPS. How do I know I'm on the correct route?

A line with a different color will appear on the device. On top of this line there’s a cursor indicating where to turn, to continue your race along the drawn route.

Guiding yourself using GPS is much easier than you might imagine. There is equipment on the market, that can be configured to warn you that you’re about to change direction, using an audible signal.

Are there cut times?

The cut times between AS, will be indicated in the Participant’s Guide, that will be sent days before the race.

Is there mandatory equipment?

Yes, there is. It will be indicated in the Participant’s Guide.

If I don't have a support team, can I participate?

Yes. Support teams are not mandatory, but highly recommended. Although the support from the organization exists, the comfort and encouragement that a team of friends brings is priceless.

What's the maximum race time?

74 hours.
