Notable Features
The race takes place entirely within the Sete Cidades volcanic caldera, offering runners the rare experience of running inside an active volcanic system. The courses traverse dramatic ridgelines, pass through a tunnel, and circle the famous twin lakes (Lagoa Verde and Lagoa Azul) that sit within the crater, creating a truly unique trail running environment found nowhere else in the world.
