Ultra Marathon of the Atlantic

The biggest sporting event organized by the municipality of Grândola will take place this year on July 7, 2024. The beaches on the Atlantic front host another edition of the Ultra Marathon Atlântica, covering a length of 43 km, which connects Melides beach to Bico das Lulas beach in Tróia. The Ultra Marathon is a test of adventure and physical and psychological endurance that offers a unique experience to athletes who participate every year , or to those who are debuting in the race. This competition is different from other existing long-distance races, as it takes place on sandy ground and is situated between the Atlantic front and the Serra da Arrábida, which provides a setting of great beauty for the hundreds of athletes who participate. The Atlantic Race, which has been taking place since 2014, allows you to practice running on sand, however over a distance of less than 15 km, between Comporta beach and Bico das Lulas beach in Tróia.
