Ultra X 110 Azores

Stage 1: Day one is a point to point route and starts at the famous hot springs in the town of Furnas. It begins by winding its way to the shores of Furnas Lake. From there the route heads west climbing up to the high point of Pico da Barrosa. From then on the route is mostly downhill and takes runners to the centre of the island to the picturesque forestry reserve of Pinhal da Paz where the campsite is located. Stage :2 Day two is a point to point route that starts at the campsite in the forestry reserve of Pinhal da Paz and heads out to the western side of the island to the iconic volcanic crater of Sete Cidades. It is here that the runners navigate the perimeter of the crater with views out to the Atlantic on one side while on the other they will see the twin lakes of Sete Cidades; one green the other blue. A truly spectacular sight. Having looped around the dormant volcano the route then heads back in a south easterly direction with a coastal run into the finish on the harbour front in Ponta Delgada.
