Dragon Run 2026 brought forward to 17 October | OneFootball

The Dragão Run 2026 has been rescheduled to Saturday, October 17. The 7th edition of the event will take place one day earlier than originally planned, with both the start and finish remaining at the Dragão Stadium.

The change is due to the operational requirements imposed by UEFA for the UEFA Champions League match scheduled for Tuesday, October 20, at the Dragão Stadium. The venue and surrounding area must be available from two days before the match, making it impossible to hold the race on Sunday, October 18.

FC Porto sought to ensure that the Dragão Run could still take place on that date, but as it was not possible to guarantee that solution, the race has been brought forward to October 17.

The 10-kilometre race and the 5-kilometre walk remain unchanged, as do the usual organisational and safety arrangements. Registrations already completed will remain valid, and no additional action is required.

The schedule, information on bib collection, and the remaining practical details will be announced soon through the race’s official channels and by email.

Anyone unable to take part on the new date may request a refund of the registration fee.
