Proença-a-Nova (Portugal) - "Backyard Ultra Horizontes". The Horizontes Backyard Ultra is an official race on the Backyard Ultra calendar. An American concept created by Lazarus Lake, organizer of the famous and legendary Barkley Marathons in the Frozen Head Nature Park in Tennessee. The logic of this race is very simple: complete a loop of 6,706 km in a maximum time of 1 hour. Every hour there is a start and everyone has to complete the Loop in under an hour. If someone finishes earlier, they can rest while waiting for the new loop to start. www.horizontes.pt/backyard

Seia (Portugal) - "Oh Meu Deus". This journey through Serra da Estrela's natural heritage is 13 years old! The longest distances have a geographical scope that covers almost the entire Natural Park. We haven't forgotten the people, the history and the traditions. We often pass through small villages where you can get to know the customs and traditions of the mountains. It's a very demanding challenge. A challenge that can become extreme in adverse weather conditions, such as cold, rain or intense heat. www.horizontes.pt/oh-meu-deus

Belmonte (Portugal) - "PT281". It's a race where temperatures soar past 40º. The heat is stifling and many of the participants rate it as the hardest they've ever done. To be happy and one of the finalists in this race, you need to have a real capacity for autonomy, be self-sufficient and know how to navigate the entire route using a GPS device. With the PT281 Ultramarathon we cross an entire region of inland Portugal: Beira Baixa. It's a region with a moderate climate for most of the year, but which is especially hot and torrid in July. www.horizontes.pt/pt281

Proença a Nova (Portugal) - "Proença Cross Trail". It's now one of the oldest Portuguese trails and one where many people have completed an ultramarathon for the first time. We still maintain the concept that has always guided us: Running in nature. Running safely and, for those who are allowed, running fast. A challenging, fun route that passes through some very beautiful places. www.horizontes.pt/proenca-cross-trail
