The EDP 8K begins on Lisbon's Vasco da Gama Bridge and concludes in Parque das Nacoes. This 8-kilometer city run is part of the Lisbon Marathon program, offering a shorter distance than the marathon events and a more relaxed atmosphere than a competitive road race.
The route is straightforward: participants start on the bridge and proceed towards Parque das Nacoes, the contemporary riverside area along the Tagus. This event is suitable for novice runners seeking a large-scale race environment without the commitment of a long distance. It also provides seasoned runners with a mid-range option during Lisbon Marathon weekend. Participation is open, focusing on individual runs rather than rankings, although wheelchair athletes have a separate classification. Bikes, skates, and other wheeled conveyances are prohibited from the course.
