EDP Maratona de Lisboa

The Maratona de Lisboa is a race weekend centered on a 42.195 km marathon. The main marathon is held on Saturday, with a half marathon and an 8K race taking place on Sunday. The marathon begins in Carcavelos and concludes in Praça do Comércio, following a point-to-point route from the coast into the city. It holds a World Athletics Elite Label, and organizers state the course is fast. The event attracts elite athletes and thousands of amateur runners globally, distinguishing it from a small, local city race. Participants can select the EDP Lisbon Marathon, the Hyundai Half Marathon, or the EDP 8K, accommodating marathoners, shorter-distance runners, and those attending with companions. The race is also known by translated names such as Lisbon Marathon, Marathon de Lisbonne, Maratón de Lisboa, and Lissabon-Marathon, reflecting its international participation. Finishers have the option of personalized medal engraving.
