The activity goes like this: you take care of your wellness and at the same time you get to know the most emblematic sites of the Invicta. Every weekend, there is a route with two timetables at disposal. This initiative goes on till October next. 

Every Sunday, till 4th October, the programme "Porto Saudável promotes five Kilometre morning walks through iconic areas in Porto. Participation is free and there are two available timetables for each group of 20 participants each: one at 10am and another at 10.30.

Choose your walking trail in Porto and discover the city while improving your fitness. Sounds good, right?

The motto is "Uma caminhada à descoberta da cidade", which goes like this in English: "A walk to discover the city", and it refers to an initiative by the municipal company Ágora and Runporto to provide walkers the chance to discover the city while improving their wellbeing.

This initiative is organised under the "Porto Saudável" ["Healthy Porto"] programme and the goal is to take participants through iconic places in the city of Porto.

The first walk took place on 9th August and this Sunday, on 23rd August there is the Praça de Gomes Teixeira walk. Although there are no places available for this walk, know that there will be other walks to Jardim do Calém and Praça de Gomes Teixeira on 6th, 13th and 20th September.

Applications are free and limited to 20 participants per group. The use of face masks is mandatory. Go to Runporto's site for applications and more information.

Take your mask, set your route - downtown or in the banks of the river Douro - and prepare for wellness at its best.
