What is the Porto Marathon course like?

The Porto Marathon course has a practically flat profile between Matosinhos and Vila Nova de Gaia. You run along the Atlantic coast for 20 km, cross the Dom Luís I Bridge and then turn around at the Afurada marina. The last pitfall of the Porto Marathon: a 5 km detour inland before the finish at the Queimódromo.
