Cape Verde Trail Challenge 2027

The Cape Verde Trail Challenge is your passport to an island with relief and character, on São Vicente, between deep-blue sea and volcanic ridgelines—all in multi-day adventure mode 🌋.

Here, you’re not coming just to “run”: you’re coming to experience the island, breathe in the salty air, cross raw landscapes, and find yourself facing panoramas that make you forget the fatigue (almost) 🌬️.

You’ve got two formats to treat yourself: the 88 km hike if you want a big getaway, or the trail of 116 km if you want to push the dial and collect memories by the bucketload 🧭.

And after the effort, stay around the start area and give yourself a real break: stroll through Mindelo for the vibe, the colorful façades and terraces; climb Monte Verde for a view everyone agrees on; go catch your breath at Praia da Laginha to recover by the water; and finish with a sunset at Porto Grande in “I did it” mode 🌅.
