ENDORFINA
By runners. For runners. Inspired by the places that move us.
When May 7th-11th
Where Ericeira, Portugal - a laid back coastal town just North of Lisbon
With who A group of like-minded runners who share your mindset and motivation.
What you’ll experience
Each day is guided as much by the place as by the run.
Spend five days along Portugal’s Atlantic coast at Aethos Ericeira, where guided runs, personalized programming, and restorative recovery meet the effortless comfort of a world-class boutique hotel. Every detail, from the routes we design to the locations we choose, reflects our commitment to quality, care, and connection. The experience is designed so you can challenge yourself if you want or simply enjoy moving through one of Portugal’s most beautiful landscapes.
Each run is tailored to you, your pace, your rhythm, your goals. Beyond the miles, balance comes naturally: time in the ocean-view sauna, optional yoga or Pilates, recovery in the cold plunge or with a massage, locally inspired meals, and space to simply take it all in.
The retreat is built around:
-
Guided running through beautiful landscapes.
-
Time and space for real recovery.
-
Travel that goes deeper than the surface.
-
A sense of community that feels easy and unforced.
This is the kind of trip you return from feeling both restored and energized in your body and your mind, not in need of a vacation from your vacation!
A glimpse into a
day at Endorfina
No two days are identical, but the rhythm stays consistent: calm structure, room to breathe.
Morning
Guests can choose to start their day with optional yoga, Pilates, or gentle mobility — a chance to wake up the body, loosen up, and ease into movement before heading out to run.
Breakfast
We gather for a relaxed breakfast with coastal views. Good coffee, nourishing food, and time to settle in together before the run.
Late Morning - Run
Runs take place along Ericeira’s coastline and nearby inland trails. Groups are created based on pace, distance preferences, and individual running goals, allowing everyone to move comfortably and intentionally. Routes vary day to day, always offering great views and a way to experience Portugal on foot.
Post Run - Recovery
Post-run recovery is built in, with access to the sauna and cold plunge, time to stretch or unwind, and the option to add on spa treatments for deeper recovery.
Lunch
Lunch is included each day and enjoyed together at aethos on-site restaurant Onda, known for fresh seafood and simple, well-executed coastal dishes. A chance to refuel, linger, and enjoy being exactly where you are.
Afternoon - At Leisure
The afternoon is intentionally open. Spend time enjoying the wellness facilities, explore Ericeira’s cobblestone streets and nearby beaches, opt into a local or cultural experience like a surf lesson or wine tour, or take the afternoon slowly with a book or a nap.
Evening
Evenings often begin with dinner together, timed with the sun setting over the cliffs. Transport can be arranged into town for sunset drinks and a taste of Ericeira’s coastal community, or you’re free to stay close and enjoy a quiet evening, listening to the waves roll in and settling into the kind of night that feels deeply restorative.
Throughout the day, there is space to follow your own rhythm. Whether that means joining an activity, exploring Ericeira, or simply slowing down. A dedicated luxury travel advisor is available to help curate each day around how you want to move, recover, and experience the destination. Nothing is forced. Everything is an invitation.

Meet your hosts
Together, they bring experience, passion, and a global running community to every Endorfina experience. The two met in Portugal, drawn by the same coastlines they’ll share with you. What began as shared miles became a shared vision, to create experiences that unite their love of running, travel, and connection. Their goal is simple: to help others move, explore, and belong in places that remind you how good it feels to get away, without falling out of stride.
