The Ultra Skyrunning Madeira event, one of the world’s most challenging trail running races, will feature event planning tool Gretel Planner this year.
Free for event participants, Gretel Planner helps runners plan their race strategy and optimize their performance.
Featuring rugged, volcanic landscapes, Madeira, a region of Portugal, is off the northwest coast of Africa.
The eleventh edition of Ultra Skyrunning Madeira (UTSM) is held on June 13-14, 2025. The event features a range of distances: from the 1km Santana Sky Speed, which is an elevation challenge taking participants from 0 to 300 metres of altitude; through to the main 46km Madeira Sky Race – a technical mountain race with 3,600m of steep elevation changes.
At UTSM, using Gretel Planner, participants can fine-tune their preparation, manage their effort during the race, as well as plan their nutrition intake, for a safer, more efficient experience.
Jorge Vilanova, CEO of Gretel Planner, will not only attend the event but also compete in a number of the races this year. With an Instagram following of over 20,000, Vilanova will share his firsthand experience using Gretel Planner, sharing his insights with a broad audience of runners.
Jorge Vilanova said “I see this partnership as an incredible opportunity to showcase Madeira – a dream destination for mountain lovers.
“I’ll be doing my best to highlight the island’s beauty and the intensity of this race because Gretel Planner is the perfect tool to prepare for and take on adventures like this.”
