23rd BTT Arco da Memória 2026

BTT Arco da Memória is a mountain bike race centered in Arrimal, a village within the Porto de Mós region of Portugal. The event is organized by CCRD Arrimal and its cycling/BTT division, with local backing from the Porto de Mós municipality and the Arrimal and Mendiga parish union. Participants can select between two race options, the RAID and the MINI-RAID, accommodating various levels of mountain biking skill. The courses traverse trails, tight paths, and local roads surrounding Arrimal, situated within the Serra de Aire e Candeeiros Natural Park. The race has surpassed 20 editions, and local collaborators like LUSICAL have provided their premises as aid stations along the course. One past edition proceeded under severe rainfall, indicating the dedication of participants: individuals prepared for a challenging, muddy ride on authentic terrain, distinct from a simple road excursion.
