Marathon BTT XCM

The Melgaço Mountain Bike Marathon is promoted by Melsport – Melgaço, Sports and Leisure E.M., in collaboration with the Minho Cycling Association and the Portuguese Cycling Federation. The route follows trails and rural paths in the municipality of Melgaço, starting and finishing in the town center.

Like other initiatives carried out by Melsport E.M., this event aims to establish itself as a benchmark in the sports scene, encouraging the practice of sports and responding to the growing interest in outdoor activities. It also aims to enhance the Melgaço brand by promoting all that the municipality has to offer—from its cuisine, culture, and traditions to its landscape, history, and potential for outdoor sports.

The organization invests in environmentally responsible practices, with full respect for the preservation of natural resources and the sustainability of the region.

Over four editions, three of which have received national recognition, the race has been highlighted by the quality of its trails, the excellent signage and the safety it offers, being considered one of the best and best organized marathons in the country.
