Corrida de São João de Braga

The São João de Braga Run is a June running event in Braga, Portugal, connected to the city’s São João festivities. It begins in the morning on Av. João Paulo II, the same location where runners and walkers conclude their routes. The program includes a 12 km run and a 5 km walk. The event emphasizes festival participation over competitive racing, featuring a non-competitive format suitable for families, friends, runners, and walkers. Its local character comes from the São João atmosphere: rather than just observing the festival with the traditional small hammer, participants engage with it by moving through Braga together.
