Carreira Vertical O Sacauntos is a steep trail event in Vilamartín de Valdeorras, Ourense province, Galicia, held in September. The main option is 4.2 km with a 1,010 m climb, making the race about ascending vertically rather than covering distance.
A 2.1 km route with 510 m of ascent offers the same vertical-race concept in a shorter format. Both distances are listed as non-competitive, yet classifications and results are published. This suits participants seeking a demanding mountain effort without the atmosphere of a formal championship.
