A lush island adventure through volcanic pools, ocean cliffs, emerald forests, and dramatic Atlantic landscapes.
The island is an oasis of green, with incredible natural pools carved out of lava rocks, gorgeous cliffs overlooking the North Atlantic Ocean and charming towns. It is located in a region known as Macaronesia, just under 400 kilometres to the north of the Canary Islands and 520 kilometres west of the Kingdom of Morocco.
Taking part in mid November, the climate conditions for the race should be temperate, with lows of around 9°C and highs of 21°C.
The European Slam award is in recognition of those who complete all three European Ultra X events. Participants can choose any combination of events but they must all be ultra distance i.e. Ultra X Finland 25km does not count towards the Grand Slam.
Ultra X Finland (110, 60 & 50)
Ultra X Slovenia (110, 60 & 50)
Ultra X Madeira (110, 60 & 50)
In order to be eligible for the award, entrants must enter and finish each of the individual events. There is no time limit. Awards will be presented at the finish line of the final event of the year, Ultra X Madeira.
We understand that competitors may wish to travel to Madeira with family or friends. Should they wish to enjoy the islands while you race, we highly recommend visiting the following sights. Alternatively, you can visit them together after the event.
If one of your party would like to volunteer at the race while you take part, they can complete the Volunteer Application Form and we will do our best to accommodate them.
