After two atypical years practically without sporting events, due to the pandemic, it was with great satisfaction that Hospital da Luz Póvoa de Varzim ensured once again clinical support to the running event Corrida dos Reis , in its 4 th edition, which took place last Saturday, January 15, marking the ending of the Christmas festivities in this city. Along the 8 km track, about 1,400 participants from different regions of the country had the opportunity to run through the main neighbourhoods and tourist sites of the city. Paulo Rosário and Susana Godinho were the winners in the men’s and women’s race, respectively. All along the track, the athletes counted with the medical support of Hospital da Luz Póvoa de Varzim. Also near the start and the finishing line, there was a medical, nursing and physiotherapeutic team in place, ready to support and provide all necessary care. Hospital da Luz thanks the Póvoa de Varzim municipality and the organization – Bikeservice – for the invitation to take part once again in this initiative, that repeated the success of previous editions and represents an important way to promote physical activity and healthy lifestyles near the population.
