The course

Two competitive trail distances and a walk:

• Trail 8K — A more accessible distance starting from Tapia River Beach, ideal for those new to Galician trail running.
• Andaina 15K — A non-competitive walk sharing the long trail route, perfect for companions.

Ponte Maceira and the Tambre

Ponte Maceira is one of the most beautiful villages in Galicia, declared a Cultural Heritage Site. Its medieval bridge over the Tambre is a mandatory stop on the Camino de Santiago and a regular feature of the race course. The Tambre river rises in the Serra da Cova da Serpe and flows into the Muros e Noia estuary, crossing a valley of lush forests. Discover more races in Galicia to complete your season.
