Course description
An autumn marathon in northern Portugal, along the Douro and the Atlantic coast. Mild November temperatures and a course that takes in the city over its bridges and riverside roads.
Coach tip
The Atlantic wind on the coastal section is the unpredictable part — run those kilometres by effort, not by pace.
November in Porto is mild but often wet: test your shoes and socks on wet tarmac.
A good late-season date if summer was lost to injury.
