The tradition is still what it was and the Hyundai Porto Half Marathon will really go forward, but this year, it will be held in a virtual way.
The Hyundai Virtual Porto Half Marathon will be held on the 19th and 20th of September and the main objectives are to motivate and inspire the global community of runners, to promote an active and healthy lifestyle, even in the difficult time in which we live, and at the same time, raise funds for the fight against COVID-19.
