A spectacle not only for sports lovers but for anyone who enjoys adrenaline and excitement.

Recognised as the most prestigious motorcycle racing competition in the world, it brings together renowned figures in the sport, including Portugal’s very own Miguel Oliveira. A gathering of the best riders who use meticulous strategies and reach mind-boggling speeds.

SheUltra debuts in Algarve

The world’s largest women-only trail event will make its Portugal debut on November 1 in the Algarve.

Founded in Wales in 2024 by Huw Williams, who lives with stage 4 neuroendocrine cancer, SheUltra was created to offer a “safe, supportive space where women feel seen, included, and empowered”, organisers say.

The event has since expanded to the UK and Italy, gathering thousands of participants and raising over €92,000 for women’s cancer support organisations.

Its first Portuguese edition will take place in the Algarve, with the 48km route stretching from Praia da Falésia in Albufeira to the AP Victoria Sports & Beach Hotel.

The event is not meant to be competitive, inviting all women to walk or run at their own pace. Part of the proceeds will support the oncology team in Faro.
