Vitalis Kids Challenge By Hyundai 3rd Stage

The Vitalis Kids Challenge by Hyundai 3rd Stage is a free children’s athletics meet in Porto, held on the track at Inatel Parque de Jogos Ramalde. It begins in the morning and is open to young runners born between 2009 and 2023, with a limited number of free entries available. The objective is to provide children with a genuine race-day environment while promoting sport and healthy habits from a young age. All races take place on the athletics track, with distances varying by age. The oldest group competes in a 3000 m race, followed by younger categories running 2000 m, 1400 m, 800 m, and 600 m for the youngest participants. Boys and girls compete within their age groups. All participants receive a medal and an event T-shirt, and the top three finishers in each age group are awarded prizes. Bibs can be collected on race morning before each start, contributing to the event’s authentic race atmosphere while remaining focused on children and families.
