Race planning

Plan Terra de Gigantes

Use the listed edition as your starting point. Each tool keeps imported race facts separate from the targets and assumptions you choose.

Edition notes: Registration is open on STOP and GO until the places sell out or December 31, 2026. On October 20 the current price was €630 (lot 3) and the entry list showed 71 names. The Portuguese event page now gives 306.8 km and +8,214 m, matching its support-base table. The English page still gives 303.8 km and +10,815 m; other older figures also remain in circulation. Check-in hours and the awards time also differ between the Portuguese and English pages, and the Portuguese regulations prevail. The organizer had not published a live tracking link on October 20.

Format

Fixed-Distance

Distance

306.8 km

Local start time

11:00 AM Thursday

Duration / cutoff

74 hours (1:00 PM Sunday, January 17), with a cutoff at every support base, from 9:00 PM Thursday at Piódão to 6:30 AM Sunday at Porto de Mós. Leaving a base after its cutoff means disqualification.

Crew and pacers

Planned support on the course means immediate disqualification. Each runner may have one assistant, registered in advance with name, phone and vehicle, who may help only inside the support bases while the runner is there and may run only 200 m before and after a base. On the last section, from Porto de Mós to Nazaré, anyone may run with the athlete without carrying a pack or giving physical help; pacers are banned on the rest of the route.

Drop bags

The organizer supplies bags and labels, and entry includes drop bags for all support bases. Bags are returned only on the last day, so items needed at the finish should not go in intermediate bags.
