On August 18th, the quiet village of Passagem, nestled in the charming Vieira de Leiria, became the epicenter of an exciting race that brought together sport, nature and history: the Cross Trail Campos do Lis. This second edition of the event, organized with the passion and dedication that characterize IDV Atletismo, attracted athletes from all corners of the country, from experienced trail runners to enthusiasts looking for new challenges. But what makes this event so special?
In addition to the challenging routes and stunning landscapes, the Cross Trail Campos do Lis offered participants the opportunity to delve into the rich history of the village of Passagem. Legend has it that the name “Passagem” (meaning "crossing") originates from a time when the sea extended across those lands, and the village, then a small fishing village, was the mandatory crossing point for vessels that ventured along the coast. Imagine the place where the town stands today, once full of ships sailing through the calm waters, in a setting that evokes the great maritime epics of Portugal. This connection with the sea, although distant in time, gives the Passage a unique character and an aura of mystery that captivates everyone who visits it.
And what better way to discover the charms of this historic village than through a run that winds along rural trails and paths, flanked by the rich local flora and fauna? The athletes were able to contemplate lush green landscapes, breathe the fresh air of the countryside and feel the adrenaline with each step. The route, designed to explore the natural beauty of the region, provided moments of pure contemplation, with panoramic views of the village and the sea as far as the eye can see.
In addition to the competition, the event, organized by IDV Atletismo , promoted camaraderie and coexistence among participants, in a relaxed and welcoming environment, where the sporting spirit and passion for nature reigned.
