Corrida do Dragão

The Corrida do Dragão is an annual running and walking event held in Porto, originating from the city's strong sporting culture and the iconic Estádio do Dragão. Organized to promote physical activity and community engagement, the event features two main routes: a competitive 10-kilometer race and a more relaxed 5-kilometer walk, catering to different fitness levels. It is a significant fixture in Porto's athletic calendar, drawing participants from across the region.

Participants can expect an energetic atmosphere as they traverse the routes, which begin and conclude at the Estádio do Dragão. The event offers a unique opportunity to engage with the city's landscape while being part of a large-scale public gathering. The stadium itself provides a grand and recognizable backdrop for both the start and finish lines, contributing to the event's distinct character. The focus is on participation and the shared experience of movement.

Ticketing information and registration details are typically released several months in advance of the event date. The Estádio do Dragão is well-served by public transport, with the Estádio do Dragão metro station (lines A, B, E, F) providing direct access. Bus routes also operate in the vicinity. The event is generally considered family-friendly, particularly the 5km walk, which encourages participation from all ages.
