About Pisão Extreme S 25K

Pisão Extreme S 25K is the 25.0km trail race at Pisão Extreme 2027 (Portugal). The race starts on October 3, 2027.

Race strategy

Hold a steady pace and save energy for every section.

  • 678m descent. Go easy, save your quads.
  • Steep 43% wall. Control your pace and stay focused.
  • Control your HR on the first mountain, save your quads on the descents until 15.5km, then run your race pace.
  • Start · 0.0km–1.3km · Race-day nerves push your heart rate up: don't follow the crowd, find your own rhythm.
  • Settle in · 1.3km–15.5km · Climb of 704m, descent of 389m averaging 15%, high point 1055m, descent of 678m averaging 14%. Plus 1 more climb. Ease in: hold back more than feels necessary. The race is still ahead. Climb by heart rate or breathing, not pace. This descent is hard on the legs: short steps, stay in control, poles if you have them. Hike the steepest pitches.
  • Work · 15.5km–22.1km · Climb of 639m. Plus 1 more descent. This is where the race is built: steady, solid effort. Climb by heart rate or breathing, not pace. Hike the steepest pitches.
  • Home · 22.1km–26.8km · Climb of 190m. No heroics: settle back into your own effort and hold it to the line. Climb by heart rate or breathing, not pace.

Course

By gradient, 40% of the distance is uphill, 46% downhill and 14% flat. The longest climb runs 6.3km at an average 11.2% grade (704m of vertical). The longest descent runs 4.9km at an average 13.8% grade (678m of vertical). The steepest climb averages 49.8% over 0.4km. The steepest descent drops at 33.9% over 0.2km. Surface: 54% smooth, 32% trail, and 12% road.

Poles

Trekking poles are worth taking: about 5.0km of the course favours them.

Quad damage

Quad damage risk is moderate (index 28 of 100), with 50% of the load in the first half: 2 descents deserve a plan and a couple of downhill sessions before race day.

  • Control your HR on the first mountain, save your quads on the descents until 15.5km, then run your race pace.
  • #2 · 6.3–8.9 km · 389 m D−, -14.7% · 17.8 km ahead → control
  • #1 · 10.6–15.5 km · 678 m D−, -13.8% · 11.3 km ahead → control
  • 19.0–22.1 km · 516 m D−, -16.7% · 4.7 km ahead → your pace
