MessengerSunset Trail of Afife
Event summary
The Sunset Trail Afife returns on 12 September 2026, inviting participants to enjoy an evening of outdoor adventure along the scenic trails surrounding the coastal village of Afife, in Viana do Castelo. Organised by Associação Desportiva Afifense, this recreational event combines nature, sport and community in a relaxed atmosphere as runners and walkers explore local paths at sunset.
The programme includes a 16 km trail and an 8 km recreational walk, both starting and finishing at Pavilhão Municipal David Freitas. The routes pass through the parishes of Afife, Outeiro and Carreço, offering a mix of forest trails and rural paths that highlight the natural beauty of the region.
Designed for participants of all experience levels, the Sunset Trail Afife focuses on enjoyment rather than competition, with no official timing or rankings. After the event, participants can relax with a post-race dinner and enjoy a social evening featuring music and community activities.
