Marathon Overview
The EDP Lisbon Marathon takes place in October to take advantage of ideal weather conditions for an ideal course. It starts in Cascais, on the outskirts of Lisbon. The course runs along one of the most beautiful coastal roads and its sea air, finishing in the historic center of the capital. Take advantage of this running race to discover the Tagus from a different perspective. Finally, you’ll cross the finish line in Lisbon’s Commerce Square. A fitting end to this very popular event.
As for the Lisbon Half Marathon and Mini Marathon (8.5 km), as they like to call it, their starting line is located on the famous Vasco da Gama Bridge. It is the longest bridge in Portugal and more generally in Europe. It will allow you to enjoy an incomparable view of the megalopolis.
