WOOL RUN

One of the new features of the 2026 edition of WOOL, and a way of strengthening community ties and human relationships, is the WOOL Run.

Everyone knows that sport, as well as being healthy, can bring people together (when it isn’t driving them apart). And for this WOOL, we have organised, in partnership with the Running Club by Shadow Program in Covilhã, a special run that will pass through various parts of the city and, naturally, past several of the murals that WOOL has been creating over the course of our 15 years of activity.

For those who prefer a more leisurely pace and wish to appreciate the artistic urban landscape, there will also be a walking route.

The WOOL Run combines sport, art and community. Here, nobody wins; there is no finish line and no prize. It features a 5km route that will pass by two dozen WOOL murals! At the end, there will be a community lunch in Covilhã’s Public Garden to recharge your batteries.
