Vodafone 10k

The Vodafone 10K begins on Lisbon’s 25 de Abril Bridge, taking place during the EDP Lisbon Half Marathon race day. This is a 10-kilometer road race on asphalt, open to participants aged 18 and older, offering a mass-participation atmosphere rather than a strictly elite competition. The bridge crossing is the race's defining element: participants encounter an initial incline, exposure to side winds, and a rough asphalt surface providing reliable grip amidst the morning humidity from the Tagus River. Following the descent, the course levels out along the riverside, proceeding towards Belém and concluding at Praça do Império, situated before the Belém Cultural Center. Previously known as the Vodafone Mini Marathon at 7.2 kilometers, the transition to a timed 10K has provided competitive runners with an official distance, while still accommodating those who prefer to walk or march across the bridge.
