This race starts right in the centre of the beautiful village of Baião, nestled between the Aboboreira and Castelo de Matos mountains. These two magnificent mountains together house Portugal’s largest open-air megalithic museum.

Baião is a place that surprises those who visit it. A land of mysticism and magic. And a benchmark destination for sustainable tourism. From here, you will ascend to the plateau of the Aboboreira mountain range, following trails with magnificent landscapes, and then descend to Aldeia Velha. You will run along centuries-old trails, through a lush forest and past the beautiful Goiva waterfalls. It is an excellent opportunity for those looking for a very short distance, but maintaining the identity of the Marão mountain range.

Let yourself be enchanted!

The Marão UTM is an inspiration for those who seek to go beyond their abilities. the landscapes are so immersive that they disconnect us from our daily routines, and connect us to the power of nature and the energy of the earth. i love this connection. thank you, Marão
