XI Trail da Ladeia

About this event

Set in the hills around Ansião, the XI Trail da Ladeia offers three routes through central Portugal's forested terrain. Runners wind through pine woodlands, traditional rural paths, and rocky single tracks, with the 31-kilometre option tackling the region's most technical sections and sustained climbs totalling 1,154 metres of elevation. The courses pass through small villages where local support adds warmth to the challenge, and natural viewpoints reveal the rolling landscape of the Serra de Ansião. The terrain shifts between flowing descents, loose stone, and steep ascents that demand careful pacing. With well-placed aid stations and full course marking, it's a solid autumn event showcasing a quieter corner of Portugal's trail running scene.
