27,000 runners flock to Portugal’s capital every year for the EDP Lisbon Half Marathon and Vodafone 10k, creating a festival of sport and making this Portugal’s biggest running event

The Lisbon Half Marathon is a festival of sport, and Portugal’s biggest running event! The race attracts athletes from all walks of life and at a range of ability levels, from elites to first time runners.
