If you like running, you do it for pleasure. However, when we add a 1000€ prize to the race, many others gain extra motivation to put on their running shoes and start training
If you belong to this second group, you will be pleased to know that you can already sign up for the Matosinhos Half Marathon, scheduled for 7th May.
The race starts at 9am on Avenida da Liberdade, near the Boa Nova Lighthouse. Over the 21 kilometres, it will pass through some of the most emblematic areas of the city, namely Ponte Móvel and the Leça da Palmeira waterfront.
There will be cash prizes for the first ten places in the men's and women's general race classes. The winner will win €1,000, while the second place will take home half of this value (€500). Those who come in 10th place will also receive €30.
Until 25 April, registration in the race costs €16, then it goes up to €17 until 2 May. The participant kit includes an official race T-shirt and can be picked up on 6 May at the city's Tourism Office, or the following day on Avenida da Liberdade, near the start.
Besides the 21-kilometre race, the event also includes another distance that can be run as a family. This is a seven-kilometre walk that also starts near the Boa Nova lighthouse, at 9am. Entries for this route cost €8 until 25 April, rising to €9 afterwards. You can register for both races on the RunPorto website.
