TMC

This race starts in the heart of the Aboboreira mountain range, which thanks to its many granite outcrops is home to one of the most impressive examples of Portuguese megalithism.
Setting off from Aldeia Velha, which is still very rural today, you’ll run along centuries-old trails, through lush forest and past the beautiful Goiva waterfalls.
This is an excellent opportunity for those looking for a very short distance, while maintaining the identity of the Marão mountain range.
Let yourself be enchanted!

,,

This is a great event in a spectacular part of Portugal. Although this was my first attempt at a trail run I found that with the kind words of encouragement from both other participants and organisers very helpful. Above all the camaraderie amongst runners of many nationalities. The organisers and volunteers, and emergency services always friendly and helpful. A truly awesome day, obrigado.
