Event summary
The Trail Quinta das Arcas takes place on 29 November 2026 at Quinta das Arcas in Sobrado, Valongo. Organised by Candibyke – Associação de Ciclismo, the event brings together two competitive trail races and a recreational walk through the trails and paths surrounding Campo and Sobrado.
Participants can choose between an approximately 20 km Trail, a 12 km Mini Trail and a 12 km Walk. The Trail is open to adult participants, while the Mini Trail welcomes athletes aged 16 and over. The walk is non-competitive and also allows minors to participate when accompanied by an adult.
The Trail starts at 09:00, followed by the Mini Trail at 09:30, with the walk starting afterwards. Courses will be marked and include mandatory checkpoints, while the final route details, elevation profiles and aid station locations will be published closer to the event.
All participants must carry a mobile phone, whistle, emergency blanket and water container. As disposable cups will not be provided at aid stations, carrying a personal reusable cup is also required. Registration includes personal accident insurance, aid stations and a finisher gift.
