On September 11th, another edition of the "Port of Leixões" race will take place, promoted by APDL - Administração dos Portos do Douro, Leixões e Viana do Castelo, S.A. The race will bring together about 2500 athletes to run or walk among cargo, containers, and ships.
With a 10 km run and a 5 km walk, the competition starts at 9am next to the Cruise Terminal building at the Port of Leixões, and will take place inside the port area.

Participants will be able to pick up their race kit at Mar Shopping until 10 pm on September 9 and 10, or on the day and place of the event for those living outside the district of Porto.
