Lafões BTT Route
The Rota de Lafões BTT is a mountain biking event taking place on June 7, 2026, in Oliveira de Frades, Viseu. It offers challenging routes for enthusiasts with two main race distances: a 25 km half marathon and a 50 km marathon, both starting and finishing at the same location. Additionally, there is a non-competitive 15-20 km ecotourism cycling route along the Vouga ecopista, and a 10 km walking option.
This event is open to all riders aged 15 to 75 years and includes categories for electric bikes as well. The courses feature rural and forest paths, singletracks, and roads open to traffic, demanding medium to high technical and physical effort. Participants will enjoy beautiful landscapes unique to the Oliveira de Frades area, with well-marked trails and several refreshment points.
The atmosphere is both competitive and festive, with podium awards for general and age categories, including e-bike divisions. The event includes logistical support such as meal options, showers, and safety measures, making it suitable for a broad range of mountain bikers, from elites to amateurs and families interested in the ecotourism ride.
