From 3rd to 5th October, the city of
Porto returns to host a major Orienteering event. Spread over three
stages, with separated standings, the Porto City Race 2014 is an
event of urban Foot orienteering, organized by the Grupo Desportivo
Quatro Caminhos, with the partnership of Municipality of Porto,
through the Porto Lazer. Open to people of any age, participating
individually or in groups, the event is part of the City Race Euro
Tour, along with the cities of London, Edinburgh and Barcelona.
Committed to double the entries
registered in the previous edition and overcome the barrier of one
thousand of participants, the organization of the Port City Race 2014
selected for the present edition the best of the Porto's natural and
built heritage, offering a rich and varied program. The first stage
will be carried out over the historic centre of Porto, on the evening
of 3rd October. Next day dawn, it will be the City Park to welcoming,
almost simultaneously, the Relay and the Score race. Finally, the
queen stage that ends the 2014 edition of the Port City Race, will be
held at Foz Velha, on the morning of 5th October, scoring for the
ranking of the City Race Euro Tour and the Urban National Circuit.
Among the “notables” who offer their image to the event, as
Ambassadors, we can see “the man of the ultra-marathon
Spartlathlon”, João Oliveira, and Pedro Henriques, former football
referee, sports commentator and columnist.
The entries to the Port City Race
can be made online via Oasis platform, or from the address
inscrever@gd4caminhos.com,

Orienteering Federation, with values ranging from € 1.50 (Schools)
to € 7.00 (non-federated, older than 20 years). The registration
for Open Classes may be made up to the day of the event, being,
however, subject to the availability of maps. Sign it right now on
your agenda and accept the challenge in scenarios of charm and
beauty, with a map and a compass in your hands.
