The event in a few words
Another race you'll want to jump into! 🙌 How about we tell you about an accessible distance in a beautiful Portuguese city? 🇵🇹 That's right, it's the Famalicão Half Marathon, back for its 10th edition this October! 🔥 Located in the north of Portugal, Vila Nova de Famalicão is a great place to run! 🏃♀️ Whether you choose the 10 km course or the half-marathon, you'll pass through some of the city's iconic spots! 🤩 Plus, it's the perfect time of year for an enjoyable run with ideal temperatures. Both distances cater to a variety of runner profiles. You can opt for the 10 km to aim for a fast time and try to beat your own record (and maybe others' as well). For the half marathon, you’ll need to hang in there a bit longer. Double the kilometers means double the effort 🥵.
Fortunately, the charming surroundings of the city will keep you motivated to keep running 🤪.
Aside from the race, you can enjoy some delightful aspects of Vila Nova de Famalicão. The parks like Das Azenhas and Da Devesa 🌳 are just waiting to be explored 👀. You could also extend your adventure by exploring the stunning Gerês National Parks with their breathtaking landscapes, perfect for a hike in the wild 🌱. To unwind, take a trip to the Esposende beach, just an hour's drive away 🏖️, perfect for recharging after the race. There’s also a 10th-century castle on the outskirts of Guimares 🏰, and the Palace of the Dukes of Braganza. Vila Nova de Famalicão is also known for its craftsmanship! 🧺 You can treat yourself to sculptures, pottery 🏺, or even wickerwork (a weaving technique used to make baskets and furniture). It's also a great opportunity to discover new flavors! 🤤 Known for the "Pica no Chão", a local culinary specialty made with beef 🥩, often cooked on a hotplate at the table...
Well, all the reasons are here to see you in October for the Famalicão Half Marathon! 💪
