Portugal Day Races
Share
The Portugal Day Races take place every year around the first or second Sunday of June, usually the closest one to the Portuguese national holiday.
The race started in 1979 and has been organized by Lar Dos Leos (Den of Lions) since then. Each year runners/walkers, Portuguese or not, gather and race in the historic Ironbound section, celebrating Portuguese-American culture.

It is with great sadness that we share the passing of Albert Coutinho.
For decades, Albert and the Coutinho family have been steadfast supporters of the Portugal Day Races and the Portugal Day celebrations in Newark. Their longstanding commitment has made a lasting impact on our community.
We extend our sincere condolences to his family and loved ones, and our thoughts are with them at this time.
May he rest in peace.
