Event summary
The VII Duatlo Cross do Azinhal takes place on 27 September 2026 in Azinhal, in the municipality of Castro Marim. Organised by Clube Leões do Sul in partnership with the Municipality of Castro Marim and with technical support from the Portuguese Triathlon Federation, the event combines trail-style running with off-road cycling in a Sprint-distance cross duathlon.
Participants complete a 5 km opening run, followed by a 20 km MTB section and a final 2.5 km run. The running course uses dirt and trail terrain with moderate elevation, while the cycling section follows a dirt circuit with moderate elevation and a relatively low technical level.
