Dragon Run, known in Portuguese as Corrida do Dragão, is a running event held at Estádio do Dragão in Porto, Portugal. It is a road race covering 10 km, scheduled for late October. The event centers on FC Porto’s stadium, differing from a remote trail or point-to-point course. Over 12,000 participants attend, including runners, walkers, football fans, and families, suggesting a stadium-focused day of participation rather than a competition exclusively for elite runners.

Saint-Sylvestre de Porto is a late-December road race and walk in Porto, Portugal, offering 5 km and 10 km distances. It is also known as the Lidl S. Silvestre Cidade do Porto. The atmosphere reflects Porto at year's end: Christmas lights, a festive crowd, and nearly 10,000 participants in the most recent running. The primary start is on Avenida dos Aliados, a main street in Porto. The 10 km course involves many turns, requiring runners to maintain focus and accelerate frequently instead of finding a steady pace; the fastest times are just over 30 minutes. The 5 km walk offers a more relaxed way to see the city, passing landmarks like the Ribeira Quarter, Dom Luis I Bridge, and Porto Cathedral. This event brings together competitive runners, walkers, tourists, and individuals using the season to motivate their New Year fitness objectives on the same evening.
