Grande Prémio Caldas de São Jorge

The Grande Prémio Caldas de São Jorge is a regional athletics event held beside the thermal park in Caldas de São Jorge. The main race covers approximately 8.3 km and is intended for junior, senior, and veteran runners. Additional shorter races are available for younger age groups, along with a walk open to all participants. Caldas de São Jorge Sport Club organizes this local race day, emphasizing participation alongside competitive times. The course is considered accessible yet competitive, making it appropriate for club runners, local athletes, and veterans seeking a solid effort in a non-intimidating setting. The event benefits from strong local backing and maintains a family atmosphere, as children, adults, older runners, walkers, and spectators gather on the same morning around the thermal park. With over twenty editions held, it demonstrates deep local ties and provides practical race support, including participant insurance and course monitoring.
