Bacchus and his teammates

New running tour in 2026

Welcome to Porto and to running in its old historic center: one minute you’re sprinting like you’ve got winged sandals, and the next, you’re looking for any excuse to stop to admire the scenery—or perhaps a wine menu. 

At Porto Running Tours, we’ve leaned into this issue with our brand-new route: "Bacchus & Friends." It’s a tribute to the chaotic energy of the gods who inspired people to build this city. 

We’ll be channeling Mercury, the fleet-footed god of commerce who turned Porto into a global trade powerhouse, while desperately trying not to surrender to the siren call of Bacchus, the god of wine and "bad decisions that seemed like a good idea at the time." 

It’s a tour where your heart rate and your thirst will compete for the podium. Read on to see what to expect.
