Corrida Saúde + Solidária is a non-profit university running event in Portugal that combines sport with fundraising for social causes. Organized by AEFML, the Students’ Association of the Faculty of Medicine of the University of Lisbon, the event supports four private social solidarity institutions each year. Its website identifies the beneficiaries as Boa Vontade, Ânimas and Amigas do Peito, alongside another institution indicated for the relevant edition.

Presented as the country’s largest university race, the event has held 12 editions and reports 16,100 participants, €104,200 raised and 38 social solidarity institutions supported. The programme includes the race itself, information about the course and regulations, registration phases and pricing, and training sessions. Participants can also consult race records and podium results, as well as details about the solidarity partners.

Based at the Faculty of Medicine in Lisbon’s Hospital de Santa Maria, Corrida Saúde + Solidária brings students and the wider community together around an accessible sporting challenge with a charitable purpose.
