Trail da Formiga

Trail da Formiga is a 16 km trail race in Louro, Vila Nova de Famalicão, northern Portugal. The run begins at 09:15, followed by a 10 km non-timed walk at 10:00. This structure separates competitive runners on the trails from walkers enjoying a more relaxed morning. Associação BTT 9:15 Louro organizes the event, presenting it as a fun sporting occasion rather than an elite-focused competition. The route primarily follows natural trails, forest paths, rural lanes, and dirt roads within Vila Nova de Famalicão. Participants will encounter uneven terrain, elevation changes, and technical sections through rural and mountain landscapes. The race is open to men and women aged 18 to 90, with categories including Sub 23, Senior, and Vet 40. The walk accommodates ages 2 to 90, contributing to the event's broad community appeal.
