Lisbon Marathon 2025

Welcome to Lisbon ! We invite you in October, in the capital of Portugal 🇵🇹, for one of the most beautiful and renowned marathons: the Lisbon Marathon (also called EDP Lisbon Marathon 🌞). About 20,000 people 😲 are present each year at this autumnal race 🍂, considered as a reference event by the IAAF this season 🍁. You will be in the company of runners from all over the world 🌎 across 3 race formats : a marathon, a half-marathon and a mini-marathon of 8.5 km arriving at the famous Commerce Square, under the arch of the Palace, for a unique finish in the city center 🏁.

The event is extremely popular and sought after by runners, so don't wait to register for the next edition 🗓️. On the agenda: a paved route, with very few elevations 😮‍💨, starting from Cascais, for the marathon. The 42 km are done along the seaside 🌊 and the Tagus by the Lisbon coastlines 🌁. You can watch the sunrise on the banks ☀️. The landscapes are exceptional! Quaint little houses line the route and accompany you to the city 🏠.

As for atmosphere, the 2024 edition left a mark! 🔥 The first 30 kilometers were filled with supporters 📣. To top it all off, the route took a slight detour on the beach 🏝️, where dozens of volunteers equipped with large flags represented the many participating countries! 🤩 We won't even mention the finish at Commerce Square, shared with the half-marathon. Just imagine how much the temperature rises suddenly! ♨️ Speaking of temperature, don't forget a good cap 🧢, because it's not only the supporters who are hot... The weather is too! Indeed, as surprising as it may seem, in October, in Portugal, the sun is strong! 👊 Fortunately, you can always count on the cool stations set up along the route to refresh yourself! 💦

The Portuguese capital is full of monuments and sights to see once the race is over 🏛️. Many religious buildings with magnificent architecture dot the city, as well as medieval fortifications, such as the Tower of Belém. You can also relax on one of the many beaches overlooking the Atlantic Ocean: after the effort, the comfort 💝. Enjoy the many restaurants in the city at very affordable prices! And don't forget to taste the delicious Portuguese specialties 🥧, like bacalhau or the famous pastel de nata. 

So, are you ready for a pasta party 🍝 welcome ? Don't eat too much either ! 😜
