To enrol in the different races, the participants are required to fill in the Medical Questionnaire available on the site of the ecotrail race before the 30 September 2021. Failure to comply with these prerequisites will result in the cancellation of the registration, without the right to a refund. It is mandatory that the check-in be done at the places and times previously announced and the athlete or his/her legal representative has to show an identification (citizen card, ID or passport). The bibs cannot be collected on the day of the race, except in cases of force majeure agreed by the Organizing Committee. The maximum number of participants for the Ecotrail Funchal – Madeira is 500 per trail race. 1.4 – Physical Conditions The different Ecotrail Funchal – Madeira Races are open to male and female participants in good physical conditions and who will abide by these Regulations. The weather conditions may be adverse even in October (wind, cold, rain and even snow). Good training and a true sense of personal autonomy are essential for the success of this individual adventure. The Ecotrail Funchal - Madeira is by nature a semi self-sufficient race. During the course, there will be service areas where refreshments and solid foods will be provided, to be consumed on the site. While other drinks are available, only water may be used for refilling contai- ners or hydration packs brought by the athlete. When leaving the area, each athlete/participant must make sure that he/she has the quantity of food and water needed for his/her own consumption to reach the next service area. Aware of the complexity of the race, all the athletes are to be physically and mentally prepared for the specific characteristics and requi- rements of the course. Nevertheless, we alert you to the likelihood of extreme fatigue situations arising in the course of running, associa- ted with muscle and joint pain, digestive problems among others. Should such situations arise, the Organization will assist the athletes only whenever deemed necessary or whenever assistance is requested. The participants themselves should be prepared to overcome such situations as best as possible. 1.5 – Outside assistance Assistance may be given to the participants in the areas set out for that purpose (service areas and control check points), only by a person with identification provided by the organization for that purpose. This assistance will always be subject to the rules that the Organization may define for this purpose, which will be announced in due course, at keast one week prior to the date of the event. It is strictly forbidden to be supported along the course by any person other than one who is registered for the race.

THE RACES 2.1. Presentation of the race The starting point of this adventure is in the centre of Funchal with the athletes going along the pedestrianised area of Avenida Zarco, going past the remarkable Cathedral, then along rua José de Almeida as far as Praça do Povo. Once there, they will follow the promenade by the sea towards the Old Town, entering Rua Portão (Gate) de São Tiago and Travessa do Forte between the old houses to end up at Rua de Santa Maria, on the way to Largo do Socorro. Here, after passing by the charismatic Church of Socorro, they ascend by Calçada do Socorro to Largo da Forca, already heading for the easternmost part of the city. Following along most of the Rua do Lazareto, the athletes will soon reach the centre of São Gonçalo Parish after running along rua Nova da Igreja. Passing rapidly along rua Conde Carvalhal, the athletes will soon reach the slope that spreads over the amphitheatre of Fun- chal, going past Bica de Pau. To run along the Estrada do Aeroporto and Estrada da Camacha will be a real adventure, mainly for those who are not familiar with the Madeiran daily cosmopolitan life. After climbing Rua Caridade Pestana, they will reach rua do Balancal to make their entrance at the outstanding Palheiro Golf. They will not have time to take a swing but they will have the opportunity to watch the sun rising and to enjoy the view of the city waking up as the day drives the night away. Soon after, before they realise, the athletes will be going up towards Carreiras, then from there to will go down to Curral dos Romeiros, towards Largo das Babosas and then Monte, one of the most iconic spots of Madeira. From Monte, they will climb towards the Parque Ecológico do Funchal (Madeira Ecological Park), at Ribeira das Cales. From here, they will start climbing another part of the slope, covering the pathway that borders Levada da Ribeira das Cales and reach Casa do Burro, one of the refuges of the Chão da Lagoa plateau. But they cannot stay long for they have to continue along the track as far as Pico do Arieiro, after going past Casa do Arieiro, the site where the Regional Meteorological Services had their headquarters for many years.

  • Funchal, Madeira Island, Portugal
    1 Funchal is getting ready! Funchal, Madeira Island, Portugal Funchal is the capital of Madeira Island, with an area of 76 km2 (10,3% of the island). The municipality is administratively divided in ten parishes: São Martinho, Santo António, São Pedro, São Roque, Monte, Imaculado Coração de Maria, Santa Luzia, Sé, Santa Maria Maior and São Gonçalo. The municipality with 112,015 inhabitants, in the 2011 census, has a relevant number of occurrences throughout the centuries of natural hazards, which have caused victims and huge destruction, such as flash floods, landslides, mudslides, rock fall, storms, storm surges and forest fires. Description of the hazards and vulnerability profile of the city The historical records reviewed so far revealed that the flash flood which caused more fatalities occurred in 9Th of October 1803. Official figures report the existence of 600 dead, although a letter from that season points to 1,000 people dead and missing, mostly in Funchal, at that time the municipality had approximately 25,000 inhabitants and the island population was around 90,000. In 1993, on October 29Th a flash flood, considered one of the most violent to hit the city of Funchal, left a unrecognizable, confused city with the balance of five dead, four missing and about 400 evacuees, high losses in public infrastructure and private sector facilities, and millions of euros in destruction.
