After a two-year break, the Porto de Leixões Race took place on the 11th of September and took the athletes (or the walkers, in the Walking, also provided for in the programme) to go along the route that encircles, internally, the north entrance, next to the suspension bridge, on the Leça da Palmeira side, to the south entrance, at the other end of the bridge, in Matosinhos, and back, going through the general and bulk cargo terminals and the South Container Terminal.

As in previous editions, YILPORT Leixões partnered with the Port Authority (APDL) in another initiative that affirms the pioneering of the Port of Leixões, by being one of the sponsors of the race.
