The Azores Islands are a Portuguese archipelago in the middle of the Atlantic ocean. I visited in December of 2022 to run the 60k EPIC Azores trail race on Sao Miguel Island where I'd end up having to battle some pretty tough conditions. I then stayed for two weeks to soak in as much as I could of all the Islands have to offer, including its rugged coastlines, green pastures, lake-filled calderas, and local cuisine.

Are you joining this year?

This video deserves to be on Netflix or the Travel Channel! Crazy course and too bad you missed that turn, but still, I love your positive attitude and outlook. Such a neat area! Thank you for sharing this with us.

Wow Jeff - what a wonderful production brimming with gorgeous scenery and positive energy (and fun music). Thank you so much for this fabulous introduction to a very special place. João is a wonderfully inspiring character (along with your other island friends) and makes me want to up my personal game as a 56 yr old - will get off my lazy butt and attempt a favourite 20 kayer trail run here tomorrow. As for the video - my wife and I now have the Azores on our bucket list, making this last hour of viewing very expensive indeed!! 😜 We think you contribute enormously to the mix and are very grateful for all the effort and positive vibes you put into these productions so we can have such a compelling experience. Thank you so much from your long time fans in Sydney, Australia - Dave

Aren't these islands just beautiful? breathtaking

@RivnatZille Год назад

This film was just perfect! The Azore Islands are extremely gorgeous and the race looked very epic! Thank you for taking us in this great adventure!

@DGTLdoesSports 11 дней назад

I truly envy the trips and adventure you take! One day I’ll find the time, finance, and stability to do the things you do! Props to you all the people who gives you great hospitality!

Best video ever just because i'm Portuguese!!!

@EricaSantos-vq5ds 9 месяцев назад

So happy to see my island in this beautiful film, good work

@kyrreloftaas Год назад

Yes! New film from one of the absolute best creators on RU-vid. Looking forward to it. 👌🔔-on

@olegpasz Год назад

Thanks to your superb video I could return to the race again. I had the same problem with missing part of the race and disqualification. Like you, I was laffing during the race about the weather🤣 (what an idiot I am to run in this condition).

@natehughes02 Год назад

Jeff, this is one of my favorite videos you've put together. I learned about an area and culture I didn't realize existed, and it's beautiful! Thanks for putting these together on your runs. I enjoy watching them.

@DavidMHebert Год назад

Can't believe how narrow parts of the trail were. Pretty scary, especially with that much wind. Awesome video, as always!

@emma-eventing Год назад

what an incredible place -- love getting the insider look with all your excellent tour guides and hosts! also, Georgia was pretty cool and all too, but Azores' happy cows are about 1,000x less stressful than the sheep dogs LOL

@lisarunsfast7368 Год назад

Wow so beautiful and green!! Some serious mud running too. Incredible film.

@Julio_Zambrano Год назад

Man, that was an Epic video for an Epic race! It was totally worth the wait! Taking the 360 camera to the race was a great choice for the footage. Thank you for sharing this adventure! 🤩

@nilramos8196 Год назад

15 seconds in, and this already has the best shots ever!!

@netdinho Год назад

Another great film, this time about a place i love! Since my first visit to Azores, i keep going back, lost the count of the dozens of times already. For trail races and camps, other times just to enjoy what those islands have to offer, people, food, etc. It’s a pearl in the middle of Atlantic, and every island is unique. The weather, well, embrace it as part of Azores experience. If you like those non-human steps, in MIUT (Madeira) they come in all sizes and shapes 😈. See you maybe in Hardrock! (Someone whispered it to my hear😄)

@emilylukas7952 11 месяцев назад

The way Jeff films makes for the coolest travel videos! He goes to places I know so little about and then makes me want to put them all on my bucket list! And to be able to explore a culture through running is absolutely stunning! A dream job for sure, well done!

@Tom400t 5 месяцев назад

This was excellent, cinemograph and panoramic. What a course environment, I really admire Joao for maintaining the long-term condition he is in. Jeff, nice job Great job.

@jimcooper6268 Год назад

Epic video of the Azores, my friend! Thank you for sharing!! Now I have to visit the Azores!!!

@NewSkiwi Год назад

Our planet is just keeps delivering - I had no idea these islands are so amazing. And trust you to sniff them out and take us along for the adventure. (Huge thanks). Your superb film making skills certainly do the islands justice. But how you manage to run that epic race with a camera in one hand is beyond me. Well done!!👍 🏃‍♂️ ⛰️

@anaisr1804 Год назад

What an outstanding archipelago of islands in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean called the Azores. Friendly locals, a beautiful nature conservancy. Thanks for sharing. Great job trying to do the races with the crazy weather. Lol,Lol,.

@timbrickell Год назад

Again, a great film. Particularly loved the way it's based more around the people you met and ran with as it as about the race. And the beautiful islands of course also. Yourself and Ryan Van Duzer make my favourite films. Great work dude

Damn, that weather was rough! 😮 I admire your dedication, especially when you came across your hotel, I would've just gone inside, showered and put on dry clothes and fresh socks 😅 your video quality is top notch as always. I'm stoked for the adventures to come and will be rewatching your journey for sure!

@anastasiafua Год назад

YEEEEHOOOO!!!! As soon I got the notification I was keen as beans!

@jeppelund4239 10 месяцев назад

Great video. It's fun running when the weather conditions are a bit tough. I made a similar DNF (my only DNF so far) at a race in Denmark (my home country) missing a 7k loop. When I saw the front runners running past me I realised that something was wrong but just haven't got enough time to back track and do the loop. Still had a good time on the trails as you did. DNF or not, no one can take the experience from you.

@coreytucker9384 Год назад

Well done man, and in 4K! Run after the race you’re mad!! What an amazing race thanks for sharing

@afrobian1 7 месяцев назад

That running man is an inspiration

@nadiavandermerwe1077 Год назад

Stunning islands and natural beauty! Very informative and entertaining video! So sorry you got disqualified......

@w.k.9224 Год назад

It was a great pleasure and an inspirational boost watching your new video (as always). Sorry for the diskwalification after racing under such difficult circumstances and what a daring descent of these enormous 'stairs'!

@EnvyDesignGroup Год назад

Absolutely magnificent content once again Jeff! Really love the story telling and the footage is breathtaking. I'm sorry to learn of the DNF, that wind must've been so disorienting!

@RachelBurton Год назад

Wow, beautiful film. You are a gifted storyteller and I so enjoy learning about the places you visit even though I’m not a runner.

@trevfit Год назад

Brutal conditions. Definitely a different kind of race. You had a good attitude in spite of that. Good for you.

@JavierISampedroTNF Год назад

Another video masterpiece. Great scenery and cultural bites. Reminds me a bit of the Atlantic forests in my home island of Tenerife, but this place is even wilder. Love it!

@patrickrose8325 Год назад

@desire245 Год назад

Oh NO!!! You missed a part of the course. Sorry to hear that, but still the experience seemed to be good enough. Great vid!!

Another great film, Jeff. Great adventure, even with all that mud!

@justicemarks7063 Год назад

What a cool adventure!! Those steps though 😂

@Pepe-bu2ho Год назад

It is so funny when even in a day where you are wet to the bone, you start the race skipping/jumping puddles and finish it just crossing rivers right through 😂. The human mind is amazing 😂
