About
Inês Marques is a Portuguese trail runner and professional actuary who has built one of the most distinguished competitive résumés in Portuguese trail history. She holds a degree in Applied Mathematics for Economics and Management and a master's in Actuarial Science, working at a consulting firm while competing at elite level — a pairing of analytical precision and mountain endurance that defines her approach to both fields. Her national championship record is exceptional: Portuguese Ultra Trail champion (2017, 2018 and 2024), Skyrace champion (2018), and Trail champion (2019, 2020). She has represented Portugal at three Trail World Championships, with her best individual result being 20th on the 88km course in Spain in 2018, and on the UTMB circuit she has finished 5th at OCC and 10th at CCC. Her most striking international breakthrough came at Transgrancanaria Classic 2021, where she finished third — on the very first occasion she had competed over 100km. A consistent and versatile mountain runner, Marques is one of Portugal's most celebrated trail athletes.
