Discover inland Loulé
The AOM brand is deliberately not centred only on the Algarve coastline. Competition takes athletes through Loulé city, Benafim and Rocha da Pena, showing the Barrocal and inland Mediterranean landscape that many visitors never see.
Loulé city on an orienteering map
At accreditation each athlete will receive a Loulé city orienteering map so they can walk between points of interest and discover the city independently.
Benafim
Benafim hosts the main forest arena, the Saturday night sprint and the Sunday WRE Long Distance. It is also the base for hard-floor accommodation at Sport Clube Benafim.
Rocha da Pena
A protected inland landscape of limestone, cliffs and Mediterranean vegetation, selected for the AOM PreO Sprint.
The coast still matters
Quarteira, Vilamoura and the beaches of the Algarve are part of the wider stay experience — ideal for recovery days and families — but AOM’s identity starts inland.
