The 65 km race refers to the name of the event itself: Ultra Blue Island (UBI). It starts in the city of Horta, at the São Sebastião Fort, a maritime defense fortification built in the 17th century with volcanic tuff.

The 8,030ft+ / 7,883ft- gradient of this race is a consequence of the rugged terrain due to the characteristic tectonic structure of the area. Along the course, you will be able to run in magnificent places like Praia de Porto Pim, Monte da Guia, Monte das Moças, Horta Marina and Praia do Almoxarife.

Throughout the course you can also count on the fantastic support of the people of Faial in five fueling stations, located at Império da Lomba, Império Vermelho da Ribeirinha, Parque Florestal do Cabouco, Levada (Cedros) and Parque Florestal do Capelo.
