Ourém Fatima Granfondo

The Ourém Fatima Granfondo begins and ends in Ourém, Portugal, offering three route choices: a 130 km granfondo, a 100 km mediofondo, and a 65 km minifondo. This is a competitive amateur cycling event following Portuguese Cycling Federation rules, featuring professional timing, official results, and awards for age categories and teams. Participants aged 15 and older are eligible, with certain distances having age restrictions. Non-federated riders must possess a valid cycling license or insurance. The event concludes the season and determines the champions of the Superprestige Trophy, Portugal’s foremost amateur cycling series, where participants earn points across the mini, medio, and granfondo distances. The courses bypass significant ascents and traverse Fátima, the pilgrimage site, Agroal with its river beach, Freixianda, historically impacted by French invasions, Pêras Ruivas, known for the scarce Seiça river brook lamprey, and the Medieval Castle of Ourém. With medical and mechanical assistance provided, the race caters to dedicated amateur competitors and those seeking a supported journey through central Portugal.
