André Rodrigues is the new National Trail Ultra Champion

1893 athletes, from 19 different nationalities, ready to compete on those that are the most epic trails in Portugal. So yesterday morning started!

The heavy rain that fell in the previous days, did promise a muddy environment during the race, a fact that later proved to be real, and that challenged the bravery of the athletes.

In the competitive field, André Rodrigues led early, passing the 17 km with 1:32h. He was followed by Nuno Silva and João Cruz, disputing the 2nd and 3rd place.
At 36 km, Bruno Silva reaches 2nd place, dethroning Nuno Silva and taking the place on the podium.

Mary Vieira and Mariana Machado disputed the 1st place until 44km, after which Mariana Machado took the lead, continuing until the goal, thus becoming the winner of the Trail Ultra Championship race of the Trail Running Association of Portugal.

The public stood out for the strong emotions that it lived and made felt in all the athletes that passed by itself, an epic edition is made, also, of an exceptional public, that proved to be at the level of this 10th edition.

The streaming took place on our social networks, facebook and youtube.

Yesterday night ended with the athletes’ award at the ATRP gala, at 10 pm, at Casa das Artes, in Miranda do Corvo.

We celebrate the 10th abutrica edition, and for that reason we want everyone to feel at home. To this end, we launched the passport that allows you to enter the “Republic of Abutres”, in order to bring athletes closer to the local community.
Traveling to this mythical place implies a passport, where it is possible to stamp all editions, record the times, ranking, places of passage in Miranda do Corvo and, still, save for the next editions.
