12 Kms Manteigas - Penhas Douradas

The 12 Kms Manteigas - Penhas Douradas is a road race held in late February in Manteigas, located in Portugal’s Guarda District. The primary event is a 12 km road race, complemented by a 7 km walk for those seeking a less demanding, non-competitive activity. Both distances follow a single-loop course. The 12 km race attracts more participants and is suited for runners seeking a challenging effort, whereas the 7 km walk is for individuals preferring a relaxed pace. The course winds through the mountain scenery surrounding Manteigas and Penhas Douradas, offering a distinct Serra da Estrela ambiance instead of a metropolitan race environment.
