The INESC‑ID team returned to the Tejo Run with renewed energy and an even larger group, confirming the enthusiasm that last year’s participation had already made clear. Gathering near Estação de Algés, the team prepared for the challenge ahead, taking a moment first to register the occasion with a group photo. Once the run began, the pace naturally diversified, with some participants seting off with determined speed, while others opted for a steady power‑walk. Throughout the course, the blue and green INESC‑ID t‑shirts, proudly displaying the “Powered by Research” motto, stood out in the crowd.

This year brought new achievements, with Fábio Passos completing the run in 45 minutes and surpassing last year’s record, followed by Jorge Fernandes and Nuno Neves at 54 minutes. The remaining participants reached the finish line at their own rhythm, highlighting the motivation, resilience and team spirit of our team.

Congratulations to all the runners; Ana Teresa Freitas, Arlindo Oliveira, Bruno Lourenço, Fábio Passos, Inês Lynce, João Fumega, Jorge Fernandes, José Carlos Monteiro, José Neves, Miguel Couceiro, Nuno Neves, Nuno Roma, Nuno Santos, Sandra Aresta, and Sílvia Castro.

We look forward to seeing the INESC‑ID colours shine again along the riverfront. See you next year!
