The event marks national heart month with a 6km walk on May 28.

To mark the month of May, national heart month, the Municipality of Portimão is organising the 2nd edition of the Walk for the Heart on May 28.

This initiative is organised in collaboration with Decathlon, Auchan, and the Village Gym, in partnership with the Portuguese Cardiology Foundation.

The walk will cover part of the Alvôr area, from the footbridges, passing through the estuary and some beaches, in a 6km route, to promote regular physical exercise among the community.

The charitable event is free of charge and will supply participants with water, fruit, cereal bars, a cap and a sports bag. However, participants are asked to donate food and personal hygiene products for those who need them most, which this year will be collected by the Portuguese Red Cross’ Portimão Delegation.

Meeting point: 08:30 at the Alvôr Sports Complex

Duration: 2 hours

Route: 6 km.
