About Pisão Extreme XS 15K

Pisão Extreme XS 15K is the 15.0km trail race at Pisão Extreme 2027 (Portugal). The race starts on October 3, 2027.

Race strategy

Run easy on the first mountain, then go all out on the second.

  • Steep 31% wall. Control your pace and stay focused.
  • Final 762m descent. Save your legs to go all out on it.
  • Control your HR on the first mountain, then run your race pace, and go all out on the final descent from 7.4km.
  • Start · 0.0km–1.6km · Race-day nerves push your heart rate up: don't follow the crowd, find your own rhythm.
  • Settle in · 1.6km–7.4km · Climb of 366m, high point 1072m. Plus 1 more climb and 1 descent. Ease in: hold back more than feels necessary. The race is still ahead. Climb by heart rate or breathing, not pace. Hike the steepest pitches.
  • Home · 7.4km–16.4km · Descent of 762m averaging 8%. Build to the finish: leave whatever you have left out on the course. Long descent: keep it even and let go only near the end.

Course

By gradient, 37% of the distance is uphill, 44% downhill and 19% flat. The longest climb runs 3.7km at an average 10.3% grade (379m of vertical). The longest descent runs 9.0km at an average 8.4% grade (762m of vertical). The steepest climb averages 30.6% over 0.9km. The steepest descent drops at 28.0% over 0.3km. Surface: 59% smooth, 24% trail, and 17% road.

Poles

Poles bring little benefit here: only about 2.1km of pole-friendly terrain.

Quad damage

Quad damage risk is low (index 14 of 100): a few descents worth noting, none of them decisive.

  • Control your HR on the first mountain, then run your race pace, and go all out on the final descent from 7.4km.
  • 7.4–16.4 km · 762 m D−, -8.4% · 0.0 km ahead → even, let go at the end
