About the race
The ALUT - Algarviana Ultra Trail is an individual trail running event held in Portugal in November 2026 and organised by ATR - Associação Algarve Trail Running. The route follows largely the Via Algarviana and has an approximate total distance of 305 km with a maximum allowed time of 72 hours. Participation in 2026 is allowed only in the solo modality.
Registration opens 26 March 2026 and closes 12 November 2026 or when the maximum number of participants is reached; the initial limit is 100 entrants. Entry fees are set in phases and must be paid to validate registration. To register, athletes must have completed between January 2024 and September 2026 at least one race that awards 4 ITRA points; an ITRA performance index of 400 is recommended. A valid medical certificate and a signed liability declaration must be delivered by the deadline.
The event rules establish semi-autonomy between aid stations. Passage through all life bases is mandatory and external prearranged support along the course is prohibited; a maximum of two assistants is allowed at each life base. A GPS device capable of recording at least 10,000 points and with sufficient battery autonomy is mandatory and may be inspected; failure to provide GPS data if requested can lead to disqualification.
The registration fee includes assigned transfers on specified dates, athlete kit, supplies and medical support at life bases, personal accident and liability insurance, and a finisher award. The organisation may apply penalties or disqualifications for rule breaches and can alter regulations for safety or operational reasons.
