Marathon do Funchal! The Funchal Marathon will take place in Madeira again in 2025. On this beautiful island in Portugal, full of nature, you will never be bored during the marathon! But there is also plenty to do in your spare time with all the walking routes in nature. This includes the Laurisilva, a forest that we also had in the Netherlands 25 million years ago and is now on the UNESCO World Heritage List! Is the marathon just a little too long? Then you can always run the Half Marathon or the Mini Marathon of 8 km.
