Ultra X Madeira is an event that takes place in and around Madeira. Madeira is an autonomous Portuguese island and the largest and most populous of the Madeira Archipelago (Porto Santo and the Desertas being the others). It offers five races: 110km single stage, 110km two stage, and a 60km, 50km and 25km single stage event. 

The island is an oasis of green, with incredible natural pools carved out of lava rocks, gorgeous cliffs overlooking the North Atlantic Ocean and charming towns. It is located in a region known as Macaronesia, just under 400 kilometres to the north of the Canary Islands and 520 kilometres west of the Kingdom of Morocco.

Taking part in mid November, the climate conditions for the race should be temperate, with lows of around 9°C and highs of 21°C.
