Trail RFM Braga

Trail RFM Braga is an urban trail event in Braga, Portugal, typically scheduled for late May. It features city-based distances: 6 km, 11 km, and 17 km trail runs, alongside 6 km and 11 km walking routes. The 17 km race is designated as the main distance and the most chosen option, with the shorter routes welcoming walkers, novice runners, and those seeking a challenging urban trail effort. The course winds through Braga’s streets and historic areas, categorized under city, large-city, urban trail, and monument themes. The focus is on crossing one of Portugal’s old northern cities, appreciating its heritage and compact historic center, rather than remote wilderness. Participants can also combine the event with visits to nearby locations like the UNESCO World Heritage site Santuário do Bom Jesus do Monte, Guimarães, recognized as Portugal’s birthplace, and Peneda-Gerês National Park, accessible within a short drive.
