7th Dragon Run takes place on 18 October | OneFootball

Registration for the 7th edition of the Dragon Run is now open. The event, which has become a regular fixture in the calendar of fans of the sport, will take place on October 18 at 10 a.m., starting and finishing at the Dragão Stadium.

The programme once again includes the Dragon Run, with a 10-kilometre course, and the Dragon Walk, covering around 5 kilometres. The 2026 edition is supported by New Balance and further strengthens its connection to the FC Porto Foundation.

This year marks a new chapter in the history of the Dragon Run, which is taking on an even stronger charitable dimension through the FC Porto Foundation. For the first time, the share of the proceeds allocated to FC Porto will be given to the Foundation, helping to fund its social impact projects.

The number of participants is limited to 10,000 registrations. Anyone wishing to take part should register in good time. When collecting their race bib at the Dragão Stadium during the two days before the event, participants will receive an official preparation kit, including the official 2026 edition T-shirt.

André Villas-Boas, President of FC Porto, said about the Dragon Run: “The 2026 edition represents a new step in the evolution of the Dragon Run. The arrival of New Balance as Gold Sponsor makes it possible to raise the quality of the experience we want to offer participants, starting with the official T-shirt that everyone will wear on race day. At the same time, the connection to the FC Porto Foundation gives the event an even stronger purpose, because it turns the participation of every runner and walker into a contribution to the Club’s social mission. We have limited registrations to the 10,000 T-shirts available in order to ensure organisational precision, quality and an experience worthy of the scale of the Dragon Run.”

With this strengthened partnership with the FC Porto Foundation, the Dragon Run is taking on a leading role in promoting the institution publicly, using sport and the Club’s power to bring people together in order to encourage participation, closeness and social impact.
