Pepe set for FPF 10km race in Oeiras: “I’ll try to beat my time” | OneFootball

The participation of Pepe, former footballer of FC Porto and Real Madrid, among other clubs, is confirmed for the 10 km race of the FPF Run, scheduled for May 17. After recently being at the São Silvestre do Porto, the current ambassador of the Federation highlighted the role of the event in promoting sports practice among the Portuguese.

“It is important to invite people to do more physical activity, and there is nothing better than football to be involved in a way that mobilizes these people. May it be a special day for everyone,” he stated during the presentation of the event that took place this Thursday at the City of Football in Oeiras.

“I really like sports. I continue to cycle a lot and recently had an experience at the São Silvestre do Porto race. Until then, I was a bit afraid of entering such a competition, but I really enjoyed it,” he notes, promising to train “once a week” during the four months remaining until the race.

“I hope people come on such a special day, which will also be the day of the women's football final, so we can also socialize. From my experience at the São Silvestre do Porto, I think the race is also about that, it's about socializing. It doesn't matter who wins, but rather participating and being able to help others,” he also said, explaining that he did “about 42 minutes” in the New Year's Eve race and that now, with more time to train, he will “try to go under 40 minutes.”
