The departure of MIUT 115 race will be given at 00:00 (12:00 a.m.) on the 22nd of April 2023, in the center of Porto Moniz, traveling, in a first nocturnal phase, by winding footpaths and levadas on the North Coast, towards the plateau of Paúl da Serra – on the Western mountain massif. The first major ascent has a reference point in Fanal. The technical descent to Chão da Ribeira is next and, then, a new long ascent to Estanquinhos. São Vicente is the next passage, before the arrival at Encumeada, where the route enters the Central mountainous massif, but not before making an incursion to Curral das Freiras, before facing the mythical peaks, Ruivo and Areeiro. From there, the route is mostly downwards, with passages at Chão da Lagoa, Portela, Porto da Cruz, Larano foothpath towards the levada of Caniçal, with a previous passage at Boca do Risco. The final part is along a levada having Machico in sight, with the finish line at the Forum Machico.
