What if there was a circuit that brought together Portugal’s elite races? The best-organized events with the most challenging courses and top athletes. That circuit already exists, and it’s known as the Circuito Estrelas de Portugal.

This is not just a series of races. It’s a carefully curated selection of events that stand out for their quality, innovation, and ability to offer a memorable experience to every participant. The purpose is simple: to give due recognition to the events that are true “stars” in the national sports scene and, at the same time, offer athletes a calendar of high-level challenges.
