Este domingo, 12 de maio, as paisagens deslumbrantes do concelho de Águeda foram o cenário para mais uma emocionante etapa do Troféu de Trail Terras de Águeda, com a realização do Alfusqueiro TRAIL. Este evento, que já se tornou uma referência no calendário desportivo local, é composto por 9 etapas que se desenrolam ao longo de várias datas e em diversas freguesias do Concelho de Águeda, demonstrando o compromisso da Câmara Municipal em promover a prática desportiva e valorizar o património natural da região.
Desde as primeiras horas da manhã, o ambiente estava com todas as condições reunidas, com atletas de todas as idades e níveis de experiência preparando-se para enfrentar os desafios que a competição reservava com as montanhas e os trilhos a aguardar para serem conquistados por aqueles que se aventuravam pelos seus caminhos sinuosos.
