Intense and Equal Competition in the Aragón Championship and San Jorge Trophy Archery Event in Huesca – Diario del Alto Aragón

The XXXIV Campeonato de Aragon de Campo and XXXIV Trofeo San Jorge took place on Sunday, April 19, 2026, at the archery field in Sabayés, Huesca, organized by Club Almogávares. The event brought together approximately sixty archers competing in a field archery format that combined known and unknown distances across 24 targets set throughout the mountainous terrain.

According to the official competition circular published by Arco Aragón, the championship featured five core disciplines: traditional bow, longbow, barebow, recurve, and compound. Two additional categories were included for this edition: youth archers under 15 years old and senior competitors over 55 years of age, expanding the usual classification structure.

The event was confirmed as non-international due to the absence of the French delegation, which typically participates in the Trofeo San Jorge but was unable to attend in 2026. Club Almogávares president Paco Jiménez emphasized that the venue had been prepared in optimal condition following recent maintenance perform, expressing confidence in favorable weather and inviting the public to attend the morning-long competition.

Scoring for the Trofeo San Jorge was determined by coefficient based on accumulated points, with the trophy awarded to the overall top performer across all categories. Meanwhile, individual medals were distributed to the top three finishers in each category for the Campeonato de Aragón. The competition began at 9:30 a.m. Local time and continued throughout the morning, utilizing the natural layout of the Sabayés shooting grounds.

Historical data from Ianseo.net shows that the 2025 edition (XXXIII) was held on April 13, 2025, under similar organization, confirming the annual rotation of the event in Sabayés. That year’s competition also included team classifications and international participation, contrasting with the 2026 format which focused solely on individual and regional titles.
