Racing in the Middle of the Atlantic Ocean - EPIC AZORES
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 16 พ.ค. 2023
- 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.
Registration for the 2023 EPIC Azores Trail Run is already open, taking place Dec 1-2. Visit: www.epictrailrunazores.com/en/

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.
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!
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
I thought it was 2 hours of content :)) but only 52 minutes have passed...jesus. That was amaizing!! Espacially the second part with the trophy room and the diary
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.
Best video ever just because i'm Portuguese!!!
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!
Can't believe how narrow parts of the trail were. Pretty scary, especially with that much wind. Awesome video, as always!
So happy to see my island in this beautiful film, good work
Yes! New film from one of the absolute best creators on TH-cam. Looking forward to it. 👌🔔-on
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).
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
There is a Gin from the Azores called "Rocha Negra" (black rock). Delicious gin and tonic with a slice of Azores pineapple.
Wow so beautiful and green!! Some serious mud running too. Incredible film.
Aren't these islands just beautiful? breathtaking
FANTASTIC movie
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! 🤩
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😄)
That tunnel muffled music transition
Nice catch!
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!
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.
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
15 seconds in, and this already has the best shots ever!!
Music in video picked so well like its meant to be there. Editing overall is worldclass ✊🏽
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!!👍 🏃♂️ ⛰️
That running man is an inspiration
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,.
I'm not even a runner and I enjoyed your video thoroughly! I scoping out some hiking trails on Sao Miguel and Pico.
Oh my gosh!! Why do you have me wanting to travel nonstop? Beautiful film and location
This is where my father is from thank you! I’ve come a long way since your comment on my trail running video!
I always look forward to your videos. Pure magic! I could feel the pounding winds, the mud, and rain. Absolutely stunning.
Another great video Jeff these islands look like something from Jurassic park very cool 😎
Loved this film! Especially hearing about João’s story, thanks Jeff.
Being portuguese, I loved this video so much. Great job capturing the Azores, can't wait for a Pico summit video!!
Epic video of the Azores, my friend! Thank you for sharing!! Now I have to visit the Azores!!!
Millions of views in the forecast for this EPIC video 🌋⚡️🏃♂️☀️🌧️
Hands up who has seen a better video about running the Azores than that…nobody?…no me neither…excellent Jeff thanks👍👍
Absolutely amazing video Jeff. Nowadays I tend to just skip through movies and videos, but this one kept my attention until the last second. Thank you for your amazing work and motivation! :))
WoW! Toute une course! Bravo and well done with the filming.
Jeff this is another masterpiece film. TY Clap Clap 🫶🏽
Another amazing video! I had anxiety watching you run that race! The mud, wind and narrow trails made me worry! Thank you for taking me on another spectacular journey!!!
Beautiful videography, storytelling and overall video. The music conveyed the athmosphere in Portugal and the Azores, stunning islands
We are going to Sao Michel and Terceira in May 2024, enjoyed every minute of your video. Thank you for sharing all your running adventures on these beautiful islands!
Really enjoyed watching that cheers Jeff just what i needed after returning from holiday after a race today 😁
My beautiful Ancestral Homeland ♡
Thank you Jeff. I felt like I was there. What a beautiful place!
All the comments pretty much sum it up. Really appreciate the quality content Jeff. Thanks and keep it coming! Can’t wait to see what’s next.
My first trail marathon is 60k in 2 weeks from now, I've been watching your channel for some advices, also enjoyed the Georgia series 🖤🙏🏽
Another incredible video!
Thank you very much for the beautiful impressions of the island of Azores :)
Great video, kind people and beautiful views! I had the Azores already on my list and now I’m looking forwards to going there even more. Thanks for the inspiration 😀
Well done, Jeff! Thank you!
Can't wait! This islands look amazing
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 😂
Fantastic video
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!
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.
Welcome to Portugal. I LOVE its trilhos... ❤❤❤❤
Great vídeo Jeff. Gradulations
And again! A nice video to watch. Thx Jeff
Awesome! Love the content.
Excited! Was there in 2020 and loved it!
Loved every minute of the video, it looks like a trail runner's paradise!
inspirational!
Amazing work as always Jeff. This video gives me tons of nostalgia for the Rick Steves travel films I would watch growing up.
Amazing film Jeff!!
it's an epic production, bravo, jeff
Incredible video as always! Such beautiful scenery
YEEEEHOOOO!!!! As soon I got the notification I was keen as beans!
Really enjoyed watching this one. Such lush forests they have at Azores. Thanks for sharing the experience with us.
Congrats Jeff! Amazing work! An outdoors paradise. Can’t wait to visit Azores!
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!
That looked like an incredible adventure.
Well done man, and in 4K! Run after the race you’re mad!! What an amazing race thanks for sharing
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.
Wonderful film! ❤
