The 10.5 km distance is the more popular option, serving as a suitable choice for novice runners or those preferring a shorter race.

The race is open to participants of all skill levels, from those aiming for a personal best to seasoned competitors. Post-race, Coimbra offers several attractions: the University of Coimbra, one of Europe's oldest universities and a UNESCO World Heritage site, the Coimbra Botanical Gardens, and Portugal dos Pequenitos, which is family-friendly.

The race is situated in a city with many attractions nearby, including the University of Coimbra and the old town, a UNESCO World Heritage site. The event is aimed at both experienced sprinters and casual runners, suggesting a mixed field rather than one exclusively for elite competitors. Participants can also visit the Roman ruins of Conímbriga, a 20-minute drive away, or travel further to the Bussaco Palace Hotel and forest, or the coast at Figueira da Foz.
