    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.

    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

    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

    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😄)

    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!!👍 🏃‍♂️ ⛰️

    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!

    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.
