The Trail Afuega'l Pitu is an 11 kilometre trail race staged in the small Asturian parish of Lugar de Abajo in northern Spain. Runners set off onto the paths and country tracks that surround the village on a single-day event held in late January, when the Asturian hills are usually damp and cool underfoot. The race takes its name from Afuega'l Pitu, the region's celebrated soft cheese, and the event has been running for well over a decade, making it a familiar fixture on the local winter trail calendar. Entries, start times and any last-minute course information are published on the organiser's event page at 321go.es.

Other questions
The trails around Lugar de Abajo are typically soft and muddy in midwinter, so grippy trail shoes are the sensible choice. Road shoes will struggle on wet grass and woodland tracks.
Asturias in January is cool and frequently wet, with temperatures often in single figures and a real chance of rain or hill mist. Dress in layers you can adjust and expect damp ground underfoot.
Afuega'l Pitu is a traditional soft cheese from Asturias, made from cow's milk and sold in characteristic small shapes. The race is named after it, and the local food is part of what gives this event its character.
