The race begins with a demanding ascent along the historic Vereda do Urzal, one of the main routes connecting the north and south sides of the island. This trail takes athletes from the base of the northern slope to the highest elevations of the central mountain massif, passing through Boca das Torrinhas.

At this point, the route merges with the MIUT LEGEND course, heading toward Pico Ruivo — the highest point on the island and the location of the first aid station — and then continuing on to Pico do Areeiro.

Between Ruivo and Areeiro, every step reveals the wild and majestic side of the mountain.

With the peaks conquered, the second stage of the course begins — still long and mostly downhill — featuring aid stations along the way at Chão da Lagoa, Portela, and Larano, before reaching Boca do Risco.

From there, the trail descends to the Levada do Caniçal, with a final climb to Pico do Facho, offering a stunning panoramic descent overlooking the Atlantic Ocean.

At last, the finish line comes into view in the square of Fórum Machico, on the island’s eastern coast.
