ABOUT ME
I discovered my passion for running at the age of 53. Facing down and conquering brutal challenges like the Extremo Sul in Brazil and the PT281 in Portugal completely transformed my life. These extreme endurance journeys inspired me to return to my roots—to my own country and hometown region—to establish an ultra-trail festival that encourages others to step onto the trails, push their limits, and embrace a healthy, active lifestyle.
