Run & Portowines – Fast Track Edition: Challenge Yourself, Then Taste Porto

Ready to explore Porto at a faster pace? The Fast Track Edition of Run & Portowines with The Crazy Runner Porto is designed for intermediate to advanced runners who want to see the city through movement, challenge, and reward.

This isn’t your average running tour — it’s a 12 to 15 km urban run through Porto and Gaia’s most scenic and demanding routes, from steep hills to riverside paths, from iconic viewpoints to secret alleys known only to locals. You’ll run at a steady pace (~5:30/km on flat), with short stops to catch your breath, take in the views, and of course — taste authentic Port wines at carefully selected local spots.

We skip the touristy cellars and go straight to the hidden gems where locals gather. You’ll get a real sense of Porto’s running culture, wine heritage, and vibrant character — all while staying active.

This tour is perfect for those who want to combine training with travel, challenge their limits, and finish with a glass (or two) of Porto’s finest. The group runs together, the energy is high, and the experience is unforgettable.

You’ve worked hard — now drink smart.

Whether you're in town for a race, a training block, or just love to earn your wine, this is the Porto tour for you.

4:00 PM – Meet at Cais de Gaia, ready in running gear. Quick introduction, get to know the group, and we’ll explain the tour before starting.
4:45 PM – After a first part of the run, we’ll explore Porto’s highlights from Gaia, including viewpoints, street art, and some hidden gems that most tourists miss. Along the way, we’ll stop for our first Port wine tasting to refresh and recharge.
5:30 PM – After a second stretch of the run through Porto’s charming streets, we’ll stop at a local wine cellar or wine shop, where you’ll enjoy another Port wine tasting in a cozy, authentic spot loved by locals.
6:00 PM – After savoring your wines and enjoying the local vibe, it’s time to say goodbye. You’ll be ready to continue your evening, whether it’s to have dinner, enjoy more of Porto, or simply relax after your run.
