Ultra Marathon of the Atlantic

The biggest sporting event organized by the Municipality of Grândola will take place this year on July 19th. The beaches along the Atlantic coast will host another edition of the Atlantic Ultra Marathon, a 45 km race connecting Melides Beach to Tróia-Mar Beach. The Ultra Marathon is an adventure race that tests physical and psychological endurance, offering a unique experience to athletes who participate every year, or to those who are competing for the first time. This competition distinguishes itself from other existing long-distance races by taking place on sandy terrain and framed by the Atlantic coast and the Serra da Arrábida mountain range, providing a beautiful backdrop for the hundreds of athletes who participate. The Atlantic Race, which has been held since 2014, allows you to experience running on sand over a shorter distance of approximately 15 km, starting at Comporta Beach and finishing at Tróia-Mar Beach.
