The Dubra Trail, or Subida ao Castelo de Portomeiro, starts and finishes in Portomouro, in Val do Dubra, about 25 km north-west of Santiago de Compostela. The 5th edition is on Sunday 18 October 2026. It’s run by the local sports club AD Dubra Team on hill paths and tracks near the Tambre river, mostly in Val do Dubra and partly in neighbouring Trazo.
Three distances

Semi-self-sufficient rules
It’s a mountain race under semi-self-sufficiency rules, so you’re responsible for getting from one aid station to the next. Mandatory kit is a mobile phone with enough charge and a 500 ml water container. The organisers can add more kit if the weather turns. Drinks and food have to be consumed at the aid stations, and dropping litter anywhere else means disqualification. Other rules:
- Dogs are allowed if they’re on a lead and don’t get in other runners’ way.
- Friends can help you at aid stations, but not anywhere else on the course.
- Cutting the course costs from 10 minutes up to disqualification.
Who can run
The 22 km is for adults. 16- and 17-year-olds can run the 14 km with parental permission. Under-16s can do the walk with an accompanying adult. Categories run from Promesa (18–23) to Master 60, with trophies for the top three in each. Prize details are still to be announced.
Practical details
- Entries on Empa-t close on 9 October at 23:59. Bib transfers are allowed up to 15 days before the race.
- Bib pickup is only on race morning, at the finish area, until 15 minutes before your start.
- Entry includes accident insurance, a chip-timed bib, food and drink, and a runner’s gift.
- If the weather is bad, the start can be delayed or the course changed. In the worst case the race can be called off.
