Corrida Clube Millennium Bcp
The Corrida Clube Millennium bcp begins and ends on Passeio Carlos do Carmo along the Belém waterfront in Lisbon, next to the Tagus River. This road race features a flat, fast 10 km course, complemented by a 5 km mini-race, a 5 km walk, and children’s races held on the same morning. Clube Millennium bcp is the organizer, and the event accommodates runners aiming for fast times, casual participants, walkers, and families.
The course follows the riverside in Belém, guiding participants through a historic Lisbon district while staying near the river. Children’s races are categorized by age, ranging from 100 m for the youngest to 800 m for older children. Olympic champion Carlos Lopes is the event's patron, and the program includes entertainment alongside the races. Chip timing is provided only for the 10 km race on the bib, designating it as the primary competitive event, while the shorter race and walk contribute to the day's community atmosphere.
Half Marathon of Discoveries (Semi-Marathon à Lisbonne)
The Discoveries Half Marathon is a running event in Lisbon situated along the riverfront near Belém, utilizing the Navy Museum as the central point for both the start and finish. It takes place in late November and features a half marathon alongside shorter race options, such as a 10 km race and a leisurely short-distance run for those seeking a more relaxed pace.
The course winds through Lisbon’s Ribeirinha area, connecting Belém, Praça do Comércio, and Santa Apolónia. Participants will run past streets steeped in the city’s maritime history, alongside contemporary structures, significant monuments, and verdant parklands. The half marathon attracts thousands of participants, and the event embraces Lisbon’s Age of Discoveries heritage. The concept encourages participants to traverse the waterfront district historically associated with Portugal's seafaring explorations, discovering the city on foot rather than focusing solely on a fast, contained racecourse.
Meia Maratona Descobrimentos
Meia Maratona Descobrimentos is a Lisbon road race held in late November. The main event is the half marathon, with 10 km and 5 km races also available. The course winds through the city, offering an alternative to remote out-and-back routes. The event includes children’s and junior races, attracting a diverse range of participants beyond just experienced half-marathon runners.
The half marathon and 10 km races commence at Praça do Império and conclude by the Museu da Marinha. This route passes several of Lisbon’s significant monuments and sites related to its maritime history. A 4 km walk follows the same start and finish points. Support services, including water and medical aid, are provided according to each distance. The half marathon route has water stations starting at 2.5 km and continuing every 5 km, while the 10 km race offers support at the 5 km mark and the finish line.
Semi-Marathon de Montepio Cascais
The Montepio Cascais Half Marathon takes place in Cascais Bay, on Portugal’s Lisbon coast, during a road-running weekend typically scheduled for early February. The primary event is a 21.1 km half marathon, complemented by 10 km, 5 km, and children’s races. This variety caters to club runners, novice participants, families, and individuals seeking a shorter urban race along the waterfront.
The half marathon, 10 km, and 5 km courses are single-loop routes through Cascais, featuring both city streets and seafront segments instead of a point-to-point design. HMS Sports, in collaboration with local partners, manages the race, which holds a World Athletics Label. A recent edition saw 12,500 athletes participate in Cascais Bay, providing a substantial mass-race atmosphere without overcomplicating the event structure.
Corrida das Lezírias
Corrida das Lezírias is a morning race day in Vila Franca de Xira, featuring a 15.5 km main race that mixes asphalt, cobblestone, and dirt paths. The event also includes a 5 km race on a paved road surface and a children’s Corridinha over 400 to 800 meters. It is the largest athletics event organized by the Municipal Chamber of Vila Franca de Xira, with Xistarca collaborating with the municipality. Thousands of runners and sports fans come from across Portugal each year, making it feel more like a town-wide running day than a small local start line.
The main appeal is the route's movement between the urban edge of Vila Franca de Xira and the Lezíria Ribatejana landscape, a flat riverside area strongly tied to Ribatejo identity. The different surfaces make the 15.5 km race more varied than a standard road run, while the 5 km and kids’ races remain accessible to newer runners and families. The event has surpassed thirty editions, giving it a long local history among Portuguese road races. A recent tradition adds a community angle: participants can bring hygiene products, cleaning supplies, and non-perishable food to support people in Arruda dos Vinhos.
Corrida da Liberdade Lisboa
Corrida da Liberdade Lisboa is a running series in Lisbon, held every April to mark the Carnation Revolution. The main timed race is 11 km, starting in Pontinha and finishing at Praça dos Restauradores, where all distances end. Shorter options of 5 km, 2.5 km, and 1 km are available for adults, families, newer runners, and those who want to join the public celebration.
The 11 km route descends from the higher ground around Pontinha toward central Lisbon, offering a fast pace for much of the course, though footing varies. Runners transition from road asphalt to Portuguese pavement and limestone sections near the historic finish area; polished stone can be slippery, particularly around tighter turns by Restauradores. The tunnels on Avenida da República present a minor challenge with sudden gradient changes, requiring runners to adjust their stride. FCDL and ACCL organize the race, with age groups ranging from seniors through 70-plus categories.
Semi Marathon de Setúbal
The Semi Marathon de Setubal is a seaside road race in Setubal, Portugal. Its main distance is a half marathon, with 10 km and 5 km options included in the program. The event takes place in late April and features children's and junior races, making it suitable for families, first-time runners, and experienced competitors seeking a longer distance.
The course follows the coast in a city situated between water and mountains, near the Serra da Arrabida natural park. Setubal offers a historic center, the nearby Troia Peninsula has sandy beaches and Roman ruins, and boat trips on the Sado estuary provide opportunities to see dolphins, allowing visitors to extend their stay into a weekend.

About 5K races in Setúbal
Setúbal Training Notes
Setúbal hosts 10 5K races in 2026 within 80 km of the city centre — upcoming dates, recurring series, and other races nearby, all in one place.
Setúbal gives runners a simple coastal rhythm on the Sado River estuary. Locals use Parque Urbano de Setúbal, Jardim da Algodeia, Jardim do Bonfim, and the riverfront when they want easy Z2 or short intervals before work. Setúbal Running Club meets on Wednesdays at 06:30 and Saturdays at 10:00. The group keeps it relaxed, with 30-minute runs that usually cover 3 to 5 kilometers. Jardim da Algodeia has been a start point, with loops through Jardim do Bonfim. Semi Marathon de Setúbal and Setúbal Port Run work as anchor events, while Duratrail keeps trail legs honest.
Locals ride Setúbal like a coastal base with proper hills close by. Setúbal District has 4,617 cycle routes, so base miles, gran fondo prep, gravel, BTT, and cyclocross-style messing around all fit. Local cycling club names are not in the brief, so the scene reads more route-led than club-led. The east climb runs 8 km and climbs 394 m. The west climb runs 8 km and climbs 779 m, so the west side bites. The north route runs 6 km and climbs 455 m. The Arrábida hills hold the climbs. RAID Templários BTT and UMT are the anchor dirt events.
April, May, early June, and autumn are the sweet spot. Southern Portugal sits around 18-24°C in April, May, and early June, so runners get clean morning work and cyclists get long Z2 without cooking. Autumn often stays around 20-25°C in the south, so the legs still feel good. The temperature hit 43°C on 4 August 2018. Locals stick close to the coast during the day. Winter brings most of the rain from November, but daytime temperatures still sit around 15-20°C in southern Portugal.
