Running Camp Portugal Algarve

14th - 23rd Feb. 2020

WELCOME TO PORTUGAL

It is a unique experience to escape the winter and to train daily at pleasant temperatures under the sun of the Algarve in Portugal and to enjoy the landscape. 

The routes take us through orange groves and along the sea. On a resting day, a trip to Albufeira offers a nice change. Or if you prefer it  more quiet, you can just enjoy a day on the kilometer-long sandy beach.

OUR HOTEL:

The Victoria Beach & Sport hotel is located in Praia da Falesia just a short distance from Albufeira and 19km from Faro Airport. All rooms are air-conditioned and feature a private bathroom, a kitchenette and a flat-screen TV with satellite channels. Free WiFi is available in all areas. The hotel has an outdoor swimming pool, as well as its own gym and a private athletic facility which we use for our trainings. Behind the hotel there is a cross running track.
