Looking for the perfect Father's Day gift? 🤴 The Corrida Mimosa Dia do Pai is an annual event celebrating Father's Day, bringing dads together for an exciting race with their children! 👨👧👧 Held in Matosinhos, Portugal, this road race is celebrating its 21st edition in March 🇵🇹. It's the perfect occasion to show that dads aren't just grill masters 🥩, but also great runners! 😂 And don't worry, it's not a marathon. There are two types of races: a timed 10 km for the dads who want to beat their mid-life crisis or their neighbor… 💪 And a 5 km walk or run for those who want to enjoy the moment ✌️. Of course, there is also the "Kids Race" allowing kids under 12 👧 to have fun and make their dads proud, and maybe even challenge them for next year's race 🥋.
To set the mood, the event takes place by the sea 🌊. Matosinhos is a charming town just north of Porto! Perhaps the Corrida Mimosa Dia do Pai is your first step before tackling a marathon? 🎽 For now, you’ll need to prove yourself in the 10 or 5 km challenge! ⚔️ While dads are in the spotlight, moms and the rest of the family are also encouraged to join in 🔥, making this morning a celebration of sport and family togetherness 💞. The Corrida Mimosa Dia do Pai offers a unique way to celebrate Father's Day in an original fashion! 😇 Plus, in March, the weather is perfect for a run in Portugal, and the Atlantic breeze might just mask the sweat on your brow! 😅
Of course, after the race, a good reward is in order! 😎 If you decide to make it a Portuguese getaway, enjoy the delicious local cuisine in a traditional restaurant! 🤤 Your plate will be a festival of flavors featuring grilled fish, bacalhau 🐟 (cod in all its forms), and delicious pastéis de nata 🥧. With fresh seafood, slow-cooked meats, and wines from the Douro 🍷, each meal will be a gourmet celebration! 😻 If you have some time to spare, explore the iconic Livraria Lello, take a boat ride along the Douro River ⛵, or ride the funicular 🚃 for a breathtaking view of the city 👀. Don't miss the Casa da Música for a concert and a touch of modern architecture! 🎶
Participating in the Corrida Mimosa Dia do Pai is simple: all you need is a pair of running shoes and a dad! 🤠
