Corrida Dia Do Pai 2027

Corrida Dia Do Pai is a Father's Day road race held in Matosinhos, a seaside town north of Porto, Portugal. The event centers on families running together, with fathers and children as the primary focus, though mothers and other relatives are welcome. Participants can select a 5 km or 10 km distance, with the 10 km course timed for those seeking a competitive race result. The 5 km route accommodates both walking and running, suitable for families enjoying a day out without the pressure of a competitive race. A dedicated Kids Race is available for children under 12, ensuring the event is not solely for adults with added family branding. Typically held around mid-March, the race has exceeded twenty editions, establishing it as a local tradition rather than a singular holiday event by the sea.
