Get ready to embark on the ultimate trail-running adventure at Ultra Blue Island, where breathtaking landscapes and diverse terrains await you in the heart of the Atlantic Ocean. This race is more than just a challenge; it's an unforgettable journey that will push you to your limits. With distances for every runner, you'll be set against the stunning backdrop of Faial Island. Don't miss out on this opportunity to experience the ultimate race.

Join us at ULTRA BLUE ISLAND® by Azores Trail Run® on Faial Island, May 1–3, 2026. More than a race weekend, it's an invitation to immerse yourself in a runner's paradise — a volcanic island in the middle of the Atlantic, where black-rock coastlines, ancient laurel forests, and a vast central caldera meet at every turn.

Choose from five races, designed for every level:

• Whalers' Great Route® 100K — the flagship ultra, coast-to-coast across the entire island

• Ultra Blue Island® 65K — the signature distance through Faial's volcanic heart

• Coast to Coast 42K — a marathon from the Capelinhos volcano to Horta Bay

• Volcanoes 25K — a journey across the island's geological core

• Family Race 10K — open to runners and walkers of all ages

Take advantage of May's long Atlantic daylight, the warm welcome of Faial's communities, and a race weekend supported by dedicated volunteers. Pair your race with everything the Azores have to offer — whale watching, world-class diving, volcanic hikes, and the exquisite cuisine of the islands.
