DAY 4: The day started with an exciting whale-watc

DAY 4: The day started with an exciting whale-watching trip where we saw whales, dolphins, and turtles. After the trip, we arrived on Pico Island, where we’ll spend the next few days. The staff at the island’s new hotel gave us a warm welcome, and we rested until later in the afternoon.
At 5:30 PM, we set off on the fourth run of the week, through the beautiful vineyards of Criação Velha, an UNESCO World heritage landscape. This evening run was a perfect way to enjoy the scenery. We finished at Solar Terra Brum, where a lovely picnic and a Pico wine tasting awaited us, all while enjoying a stunning sunset with a view of Faial Island. 🍇

DAY 3: Today’s adventure started at Capelo Park

DAY 3: Today’s adventure started at Capelo Park and wrapped up at the island’s youngest volcano, Capelinhos Volcano. Runners crossed the finish line on volcanic ash, mesmerized by the breathtaking landscapes they had just conquered! It was the most thrilling run of the week, with two volcanoes standing between the runners and the finish line. Before celebrating with a fantastic barbecue lunch, we found time for a refreshing swim at Porto do Comprido and even an impromptu Chamarrita dance with the volcano as our backdrop. The afternoon was free to enjoy as we pleased! 🌋

DAY 2: We kicked off the day at the highest point of Faial Island, running around the Caldeira. Despite the heavy fog that limited visibility to just a meter, our runners loved the mystical atmosphere and finished their run drenched but exhilarated. To lift our spirits, we enjoyed a delicious picnic at Cabouco park! In the afternoon, we explored Horta with a city tour, highlighting its fascinating spots and hidden gems. We wrapped up the day with a lively Chamarrita dance, followed by a delightful dinner within the historic city fort walls. 💃🏻🕺

DAY 1: We ran through the city of Horta and climbed the two hills that form Porto Pim Bay. The finish line overlooked Porto Pim Beach on a sunny day with perfect conditions. This was followed by a visit to the Whale Factory to introduce the topic of whaling, as in the afternoon some would take a sailboat ride on a whaleboat while others enjoyed a gin watching the boats, after a brief visit to the Scrimshaw Museum! We ended the day with a delicious dinner. 🐋

Collaborating with @vacationraces was something unexpected and would not have happened without our dear friend @themirnavator. And we wouldn’t have met Mirna if it weren’t for @marioruileal and his @azorestrailrun race. In fact, we have many people to thank! 🙏🏼

Being the local partner for this event brings us a lot of responsibility but also a lot of fulfillment. In one week, we managed to bring together people, running, trails, good food, experiences and culture.

What more could we ask for?! 🏃🏻‍♀️‍➡️🏃🏼‍♂️‍➡️🌳🐋🐢🐬🌿🌞🍉🍌🧀🥂🚣‍♀️🏅🗺️⛰️🛀

🎉 Happy 40th Birthday to me! 🎉

As I celebrate this milestone, I’m overflowing with gratitude for the incredible journey I’ve had so far. Huge thanks to my amazing wife for her unwavering love and support, to my wonderful family and friends for being my rock, and to my incredible kid for bringing boundless joy into my life every day.

I’m also grateful for the opportunities and challenges that come with running my own business – they’ve taught me invaluable lessons and shaped me into the person I am today. And let’s not forget the countless adventures spent outdoors, embracing the beauty of nature and fueling my passion for sports.

Here’s to embracing every moment, cherishing every memory, and looking forward to the adventures that lie ahead! Cheers to 40 years and many more to come! 🎂🎈

And so began that time of year for reflection on the past and anticipation for the year ahead. ✨
2023 was undoubtedly an emotionally challenging year. It didn’t start off well, despite ending on a positive note. Combining this uncertainty with a significant investment in our personal lives, you can imagine the chaos it brought!
But here we are, resilient and eager to take a big step in 2024. We are very excited about the upcoming year. In 2024, we will grow, delve into new projects, explore new paths and see where they take us. We want to embrace the community and evolve together, as that is the only way it makes sense. We will revive old projects 🎥 and bring value to the islands in the best way we can. We will complete another phase of #franciswoodenhouse project and embark on a new stage in a home that fills us with pride. We will share our aspirations with the world and work to dismantle limiting and destructive beliefs for a fair and balanced world. Let’s walk together! 🌿
