Montesinho 101 MTB Marathon

The Montesinho 101 MTB Marathon returns with renewed vigor to Portugal’s Bragança region, offering riders the chance to immerse themselves in some of Europe's most captivating mountain terrain. Nestled within the Iberian Meseta Transfrontier Biosphere Reserve, this event promises an unforgettable journey through nature's untouched beauty.
This year’s edition features three distinct routes catering to a variety of skill levels and ambitions: the legendary 101 km course for those seeking a true endurance challenge; the formidable yet rewarding 60 km route for riders looking to push their limits in stunning scenery; and the scenic 30 km ride, designed for leisurely exploration at one’s own pace. Each distance is meticulously crafted to showcase the unique landscapes of the Nogueira and Montesinho mountains.
Participants will traverse ancient forests where towering trees provide a canopy over winding trails, climb rugged ridges offering panoramic views, and venture into hidden valleys teeming with wildlife. The 30 km route, which does not include timing but is marked for guidance, allows riders to enjoy the tranquility of nature at their leisure.
Organized by the Municipality of Bragança in partnership with Associação Amigos do Campo Redondo and Bikeservice, this event ensures a smooth, well-structured experience. With a revitalized focus on participant enjoyment and safety, the Montesinho 101 MTB Marathon continues to set new standards for mountain biking adventures.
Experience the untamed beauty of Portugal’s Bragança region as you pedal through some of Europe's most spectacular terrain. Join us at the Montesinho 101 MTB Marathon and discover why this event is a must-attend for any serious cyclist or nature lover.
