Lisbon Half Marathon

The Lisbon Half Marathon will be taking place in March over a course that takes runners across the 25 de Abril bridge and offers them panoramic views over the city.

The race covers a distance of 21,097 metres from its start at the toll booths on the opposite bank of the River Tagus to the finishing line in front of the Mosteiro dos Jerónimos in Belém. It forms part of the Official Calendar of the Association of International Marathons and Road Races (AIMS) and will include some of the world’s top athletes.

Included in the programme and starting at the same time as the main event is the Mini-Marathon, which covers 7,200 metres and is open to all who wish to participate — essentially a social run rather than a competition.

If you’re in Lisbon, come and join this festival of sport, which last year reached a world record number of 37,000 participants, and take the opportunity to cross the 25 de Abril bridge on foot while enjoying the views over the city.
