The VII Duatlo Cross do Azinhal takes place on 27 September 2026 in Azinhal, in the municipality of Castro Marim. Organised by Clube Le\u00f5es 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.<\/p>\n
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.<\/p>\n
The programme includes the Algarve and Baixo Alentejo Championship for eligible licensed athletes, alongside an Open Race available to licensed and non-licensed competitors. Relay teams can also take part in the Open event.<\/p>\n
All races start at 09:45, with the start, finish and transition area located in the centre of Azinhal. Athlete services include aid stations, a recovery area, lunch, personal accident insurance and access to post-race showers. Individual, age-group, team and relay classifications are included according to the respective event format.<\/p>\n","organizer_description":"
