The Marathon Faial Coast to Coast (MFCC) is a race that allows you to cross the island from coast to coast in a challenge that harks back to times when this route was the Faialenses' chosen route to connect their parishes and transport essential goods.

Along its 42 km of extension, you will cross the center of the parish of Ribeirinha, which is near an old port - the Porto da Boca da Ribeira, and most of your trail will go through land between tectonic faults, which makes this route has an unevenness of 5,486ft+ / 5,667ft-. This experience ends at the central caldera of the island, the largest volcano in Faial, where it connects with the Trail of 10 Volcanoes. 

Throughout the route, you can also count on our support in two gas stations, located in Parque do Cabouco and Parque do Capelo.
