Portugal 2026

Portugal's mild Atlantic climate keeps the calendar busy year-round. Lisbon Marathon, Porto Marathon and the Madeira Island Ultra-Trail (MIUT, 115km) anchor the road and trail calendars.

Cyclists target the Algarve coastline for winter base miles, the Serra da Estrela for serious mainland climbing, and the gravel scene around Évora and the Alentejo plains. Trail running thrives across Madeira, Sintra and the Gerês mountains. Year-round training weather is the Portuguese advantage — pro teams winter here for a reason.
