Event summary
The 5th Trail Vilarinho de Cima takes place on 7 February 2027 in Gandra, in the municipality of Paredes. The event brings together two competitive trail races and a recreational walk, with all routes exploring the trails and paths surrounding Gandra.
Participants can choose between the approximately 21 km Long Trail, the 13 km Short Trail and an 8 km non-competitive walk. The Long Trail starts at 09:00, followed by the Short Trail at 09:20 and the walk at 09:30.
Both trail races use timing and course checkpoints, while the walk is recreational and does not use a timing chip. Participants must carry a mobile phone, whistle, water container and their own drinking cup, as disposable cups will not be provided at aid stations.
Registration includes an official T-shirt, race bib, personal accident insurance, refreshments and a finisher medal. The event also includes individual and team prizes, emergency support and post-race showers.
