Ultra Skyrunning Madeira 2026

Ultra Skyrunning Madeira is a summer skyrunning race series held near Santana on Madeira, Portugal. The main event is a mountain ultra covering approximately 52 to 56 km with over 4,000 m of elevation gain. The series also features shorter sky races, a vertical kilometer, a steep sprint, and children's races. Most races begin and end near the Câmara Municipal de Santana. The Furão race starts at Quinta do Furão, and the sprint begins at Calhau da Rocha do Navio. The routes traverse Madeira's steep mountain terrain, meaning even the shorter races involve significant climbing. The vertical kilometer covers about 1,000 m of gain in 4.8 km, and the 1.3 km sprint ascends roughly 370 m. The series is associated with the Skyrunner World Series and the Portuguese Cup, offering categories for youth, juniors, seniors, veterans, and children, along with team standings and prize money for top competitors.
