Matosinhos City Race is an urban foot Orienteering event, organized by Grupo Desportivo dos Quatro Caminhos and by the Portuguese Orienteering Federation in partnership with Matosinhos City Hall, through Matosinhos Sport.

The event will have two stages of foot orienteering taking place on the 9th and 10th of May 2026, with start time at 16h30 and 10h00 respectively. The stage from the 9th will be an indoor event, while the stage from the 10th will be a long distance event that integrates the Portugal City Race circuit.

This event is open to people of all ages, and you can participate individually or as a group. Anyone can participate in competition classes, as being federated is not a requirement.

Even if you have never seen an Orienteering map or a compass, you have the possibility of joining the event as the organization will have monitors available to teach and accompany you.

Get your family together, come and learn Orienteering and discover the city of Matosinhos.
