First comes the warm up.

And after comes the “noite do Mercado” (market evening), which will take place already this Saturday (December 17th) in Machico.

It will an intensely busy weekend, the one coming up now, but before Santa arrives, this Sunday, athletes will be able to run along the main streets of the town. Enrollment can take place just before the race, at the start, in the square next to the council building.

There will be to departures, one at 18h20, and another 10 minutes later, to cater to different levels of “professionalism” or – rather – different amounts of breath. But what really matters is that athletes get tired enough to need victualling in the market, as the “noite do Mercado” is to take place then and there, in and around the market structure in Machico.

The night is certainly going to be a lively one, especially as there are to be a number of attractions to ensure it.

And on Sunday, don’t forget to take the kids to meet Santa. This is scheduled for 16h, and the old man’s arrival to the central square always generates a lot of excitement amongst the kids.
