NEXE 107 1.2: Trail Ultra Endurance

The NEXE 107 1.2 Trail Ultra Endurance sends runners out from the Junta de Freguesia de Santa Barbara de Nexe on the night of 18 September, tackling a 107km circular course through the hills inland from Faro with around 3,580m of climbing and a 24-hour cut-off. Runners who prefer a shorter test can enter the 55km race, which follows the same trails for roughly half the distance and climbing, or take on the long course as a two-person relay split into two legs. Field sizes are capped, at 100 solo entrants on the 107km, 70 on the 55km and 40 relay teams, and the race carries ITRA points for anyone who finishes inside the time limit, drawing a serious trail-running crowd from across Portugal and beyond to the Algarve's inland hills rather than its beaches.
