The 6th Trail S\u00e3o Gon\u00e7alo Madonu \u2013 Blind Edition is a trail running event taking place on November 8, 2026, in Carape\u00e7os, Barcelos. It features three activities: Trail Sprint (17 to 20 km), Trail Jovem (10 to 12 km), and a non-competitive Mystery Walk (6 to 9 km).<\/p>\n

This edition introduces a unique concept where participants do not know the full course in advance. At decision points during the race, runners choose between two official route variants: a shorter, more demanding path with greater elevation or a longer, less steep, and more rolling path. This choice is final and part of the competitive strategy.<\/p>\n

The event is open to participants aged 16 and older for the Trail Jovem and 6 to 90 years for the walk, with required authorization for minors. The Trail Sprint and Trail Jovem are timed and classified by age categories, while the walk is non-competitive. Jerseys are included with registration, and the race atmosphere emphasizes adventure, strategy, and discovery.<\/p>\n","organizer_description":"
