The 8\u00ba Trail Summer Challenge is a trail running event taking place on July 5, 2026, at Praia Foz do Lizandro. It offers three distances: a long trail of approximately 24 km, a short trail of approximately 15 km, and a leisure walk of about 12 km.<\/p>\n
This event is open to all participants aged 18 and over, requiring no license, and includes competitive trail races as well as a non-competitive walk. It is part of the Circuito Challenge S.A. 2026 series and promotes environmental awareness, being associated with eco-friendly initiatives such as the Plogging movement.<\/p>\n
The courses traverse mostly natural circuits with stunning coastal views, combining trails through inland paths and seaside scenery. The atmosphere is inclusive and supportive, catering to competitive athletes and leisure walkers alike, with special awards for teams and the oldest participants, plus fun activities like plogging integrated into the walk.<\/p>\n","organizer_description":"
