Run&Pasteis

Run & Pastéis – Explore Porto Off the Beaten Path
Forget the typical TripAdvisor lists – you're adventurous enough for that! With The Crazy Runner Porto, our Run & Pastéis tour takes you through the authentic side of Porto, far from the usual tourist spots. We'll jog at a relaxed, friendly pace through charming neighborhoods, hidden alleys, and local gems you probably wouldn't find on your own.

Along the way, we’ll make several stops to taste some of the best Pastéis de Nata Porto has to offer – not just at the end! And yes, it's Run & Pastéis, not Run & Pastel — so expect more than just one sweet reward along the route.

The tour covers about 10 km (roughly 6 miles). Porto is a hilly city, but don’t worry – the group always stays together! We take our time, and for the strongest runners, we might even throw in a few fun extra exercises while waiting for everyone to catch up. It’s all about enjoying the run, the city, and the good vibes.

We start early — but that's when Porto is at its most beautiful. The city waking up, the soft light on the Douro River, the peaceful streets… It's a magical moment few tourists experience. Plus, after this energetic start, you’ll be perfectly set for a full day of sightseeing!

No stress, no rush – just a fun way to discover Porto’s real soul, running, laughing, and tasting like a true "tripeiro".
Open to all running levels. Come for the run, stay for the flavors and the local vibe!

7:45 AM – Meet at Praça da Liberdade, in running gear. Quick presentation of the group, the route, and a few tips — then we’re off!
8:30 AM – After a first part of the run exploring Porto’s highlights (viewpoints, street art, and a few surprises...), we’ll take a short break to enjoy our first Pastel de Nata and some fresh water to recharge.
9:10 AM – After a second stretch of discovery through lesser-known areas, we’ll stop at a truly local pastelaria – not the most famous among tourists, not the top-rated on TripAdvisor, but a warm, authentic place where real Portuenses love to meet. Time to enjoy your well-deserved reward!
9:30 AM – After savoring your pastel and drink, it’s time to say goodbye. You'll be energized and ready to continue your day: take a shower, explore the city at your own pace, or just relax and enjoy Porto’s vibrant atmosphere.
