Pepe runs São Silvestre in Porto: “An amazing experience” | OneFootball

“The important thing is to be here, it’s this atmosphere around sports,” said a much sought-after Pepe after completing the 10 km of the S. Silvestre do Porto. After a period dedicated to cycling, which has excited him since he ended his football career at FC Porto, Pepe tried athletics and was delighted.

“I finished well, maybe I didn’t expect to achieve the time I did, but I owe it to the affection of the people who supported me and to all the athletes. I have to thank the people. Running in Porto is an incredible experience,” said the former footballer, who at 42 explains that he likes “sports, whatever they may be, and I do it to stay healthy.”

The message pleased Pedro Duarte, president of the Porto City Council, who also participated “to set an example and encourage physical activity,” and said he finished “with enormous pride and emotion.”
