Meia Maratona Benedita

Meia Maratona Benedita is a road race in Benedita, Portugal, featuring a main event of approximately 21 km. Accompanying it are a 10K, a 5K walk, and a Kids Run. The half-marathon distance is undergoing certification. The event caters to a wide range of participants: competitive runners can compete in the longer race, while walkers, families, and less experienced runners have shorter distances available. The Kids Run even includes a 500-meter format for parents and children. The route crosses the center of the village and extends into the natural landscape surrounding Benedita, offering a contrast to a large urban race. It is part of the national Road Warriors circuit, aligning with the organizer's characterization of the course as one for “warriors.” The event is promoted by the Bombeiros Voluntários de Benedita, with technical direction from NativeWarriors.pt. Community involvement is central to the day: participants are encouraged to support the local volunteer firefighters, and a post-race gathering follows the running.
