Famalicão Half Marathon 2025

Another race you're going to rush to! 🙌 How about an accessible distance in a beautiful Portuguese city? 🇵🇹 Yes, indeed, it is the Famalicão Half Marathon returning for its 11th edition in October! 🔥 Located in the north of Portugal, Vila Nova de Famalicão is a great place to run! 🏃‍♀️ Whether you choose the 10 km course or the half marathon, you'll pass by the city's iconic spots! 🤩 Moreover, at this time of year, the temperatures are ideal for a little run! These two distances are accessible for very varied runner profiles. You can choose the 10 km to chase a fast time and break your own record (why not others' at the same time). For the half, you need to hold on a bit longer. You're doubling the km, so you must double your efforts too 🥵. 

Fortunately, the city's environment is very charming (it makes you want to run more and more) 🤪.

Apart from the race, you can enjoy some very nice aspects of Vila Nova de Famalicão. There are parks like Das Azenhas or Da Devesa 🌳 waiting to be visited 👀. You can also extend your adventure by exploring the magnificent Peneda-Gerês National Parks with their stunning landscapes, perfect for a hike in nature 🌱. To relax, you can also take a trip to the Esposende beach, just an hour's drive away 🏖️, ideal for recharging after the effort. There is also a 10th-century castle on the outskirts of Guimares 🏰 and the Palace of the Dukes of Braganza. Vila Nova de Famalicão is also known for its craft techniques! 🧺 You can buy yourself some sculptures, pottery items 🏺, or even baskets (a weaving technique used to make baskets or furniture). It's also an opportunity to discover new tasty flavors! 🤤 Known for "Pica no Chão", a local gastronomic specialty made with beef 🥩, usually cooked on a hot plate at the table...

In short, all the arguments are there to meet you in October for the Famalicão Half Marathon! 💪
