Semi-Marathon de São João das Lampas

The Semi-Marathon de Sao Joao das Lampas is a road race held in Sao Joao das Lampas, a village within Sintra, Portugal's Lisbon District. It takes place in late September and features two distances: a half marathon of 21.0975 km and a 13 km race, the latter being the event's most popular choice. Both races follow single-loop courses. The half marathon completes one 21.0975 km circuit, while the 13 km race uses a shorter loop. The route passes the sea and the Sintra-area landscape, offering runners a coastal road race instead of a city-center course. The event is designed for participants deciding between a standard half marathon and a more accessible middle-distance road race on the same day.
