REGULATION
1. ORGANIZATION
Eventsport organizes the second edition of the Firefighter Race, in partnership with the Valadares Volunteer Firefighters whose purpose is to pay tribute to all firefighters for their work and delivery to our society and also to encourage sports as an element of the promotion of health and quality of life. On October 21, 2018, a 10 Km Race and a 5 Km Walk will be held at 10:00 a.m. which is intended to be a true sports lovers' party.
The proof starts from the Chapel of Senhor da Pedra, right on the beach of Miramar, a location enhanced by the scent of sea air and a stunning maritime landscape along the whole route, thus making it unrecognizable.
It's the end of the summer that we count on you to be a hero for a day. This initiative aims to honor the firefighter and to pay due respect for his work in the community, and of course to provide him with well-being and good moments of leisure.
