Noturna “Christmas in the Mountains” – 4th Edition!

As part of the Christmas initiatives promoted by the Parish of Cortes do Meio, the 3rd edition of the “Christmas in the Mountains” Night Run will take to the streets on December 26.

This is a popular night race, mostly on urban terrain, passing through the heart of the village of Cortes do Meio, this time starting in the neighbouring village of Cortes de Baixo.

The event will once again have a charitable component, and we challenge all participants to bring an item to donate when collecting their race bibs. All items gathered will later be delivered to a local institution.
