Gondomar, Porto · Sunday, June 7, 2026
The Generali Tranquilidade Half Marathon D`Ouro Run Gondomar is a 5k, 10k, meia maratona (half marathon), and corrida (running) event held on Sunday, June 7, 2026. It is located at Avenida Escritor Costa Barreto in Gondomar, Porto.
The Porto Half Marathon 🇵🇹, officially known as the Hyundai Meia Porto Half Marathon, has been a must-attend race in Northern Portugal for 18 years. The 2025 edition brought together over 12,500 runners 🏃 for its two events: the half marathon of 21.095 km and a mini-marathon of 5 km.
Cães D' Avenida began on Avenida do Brasil in 2011 as an informal gathering of runners chasing each other through Porto's streets. Founder João "Pidas" joked that they looked like stray dogs running the avenue, and the name stuck. What started as casual training became something more deliberate: amateur runners who take their races seriously, bound by mutual support and a belief that collective commitment strengthens individual performance. Today the crew counts 180 members, aged 30 to 60, drawn from across Porto's professional and personal worlds. Corporate workers run alongside parents and students, their differences erased by rhythm and shared purpose. Every second Saturday at 9:30 AM, they gather at Foz tennis courts for Mensalão, their monthly 10K training session with pace groups that welcome all speeds.
