The 4th Trail Melides is a trail running event taking place on May 24, 2026, in Melides, Set\u00fabal. It offers three distances: a Long Trail of approximately 25 km, a Short Trail of approximately 15 km, and a non-competitive walk of approximately 10 km.<\/p>\n

The event is open to participants aged 18 and over for the Long Trail, while younger athletes can participate in the Short Trail with a signed parental responsibility form. The walk has no minimum age but requires children under 15 to be accompanied by an adult. The race promotes outdoor sports and a healthy, active lifestyle.<\/p>\n

The courses run mainly on trails and dirt paths with steep ascents and descents, marked with ribbons and ground markings. The event features timed electronic registration for the Long and Short Trails, with aid stations providing liquids and solids at various points along the routes. The atmosphere is focused on sport and community, with prize ceremonies and team classifications.<\/p>\n","organizer_description":"
