This is a fast, flat half marathon that starts halfway across the 25 de Abril Bridge and finishes beside the Jer\u00f3nimos Monastery, with Atlantic air, wide avenues, and serious PB potential. If you\u2019re planning to run in Portugal in spring, this race sits right at the top of the list.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-45a3101b e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"45a3101b\" data-element_type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-4be7fd37 elementor-widget elementor-widget-table-of-contents\" data-id=\"4be7fd37\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-settings=\"{&quot;headings_by_tags&quot;:[&quot;h2&quot;,&quot;h3&quot;],&quot;exclude_headings_by_selector&quot;:[],&quot;marker_view&quot;:&quot;bullets&quot;,&quot;no_headings_message&quot;:&quot;No headings were found on this page.&quot;,&quot;icon&quot;:{&quot;value&quot;:&quot;fas fa-circle&quot;,&quot;library&quot;:&quot;fa-solid&quot;,&quot;rendered_tag&quot;:&quot;&lt;svg class=\\&quot;e-font-icon-svg e-fas-circle\\&quot; viewBox=\\&quot;0 0 512 512\\&quot; xmlns=\\&quot;http:\\\/\\\/www.w3.org\\\/2000\\\/svg\\&quot;&gt;&lt;path d=\\&quot;M256 8C119 8 8 119 8 256s111 248 248 248 248-111 248-248S393 8 256 8z\\&quot;&gt;&lt;\\\/path&gt;&lt;\\\/svg&gt;&quot;},&quot;hierarchical_view&quot;:&quot;yes&quot;,&quot;min_height&quot;:{&quot;unit&quot;:&quot;px&quot;,&quot;size&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;sizes&quot;:[]},&quot;min_height_tablet&quot;:{&quot;unit&quot;:&quot;px&quot;,&quot;size&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;sizes&quot;:[]},&quot;min_height_mobile&quot;:{&quot;unit&quot;:&quot;px&quot;,&quot;size&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;sizes&quot;:[]}}\" data-widget_type=\"table-of-contents.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-toc__header\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-toc__header-title\">\n\t\t\t\tTable of Contents\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div id=\"elementor-toc__4be7fd37\" class=\"elementor-toc__body\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-toc__spinner-container\">\n\t\t\t\t<svg class=\"elementor-toc__spinner eicon-animation-spin e-font-icon-svg e-eicon-loading\" aria-hidden=\"true\" viewBox=\"0 0 1000 1000\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\"><path d=\"M500 975V858C696 858 858 696 858 500S696 142 500 142 142 304 142 500H25C25 237 238 25 500 25S975 237 975 500 763 975 500 975Z\"><\/path><\/svg>\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-7066b774 e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"7066b774\" data-element_type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-8f315a3 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"8f315a3\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">The Lisbon Half Marathon and why runners keep coming back\n<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-6adbc801 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"6adbc801\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The EDP Meia Maratona de Lisboa has earned its reputation properly. Over 30,000 runners take part every year, with a strong international crowd and plenty of elite athletes chasing quick times. It regularly features on lists of the world\u2019s fastest races, and that\u2019s not marketing spin.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The EDP Lisbon Half Marathon\u2019s appeal goes beyond the course profile. Lisbon in early March is cool, bright, and lively without being hectic. You\u2019re racing through a historic capital that knows how to host big events, so take in the moment while it lasts.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you\u2019re weighing up the half marathon Lisbon experience against other European races, Lisbon usually wins on weather, scenery, and post-race plans. You can see why many runners turn it into a long weekend rather than a fly-in, fly-out dash.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-f8ad407 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"f8ad407\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1254\" height=\"626\" src=\"https:\/\/www.allurevillas.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/Lisbon-Half-Marathon.jpg\" class=\"attachment-full size-full wp-image-3545\" alt=\"Lisbon-Half-Marathon.jpg\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.allurevillas.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/Lisbon-Half-Marathon.jpg 1254w, https:\/\/www.allurevillas.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/Lisbon-Half-Marathon-768x383.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1254px) 100vw, 1254px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-0afd99d e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"0afd99d\" data-element_type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-9107713 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"9107713\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Official route and key points of the EDP Meia Maratona de Lisboa\n<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-c502c8b elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"c502c8b\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The route is where this race really flexes its muscles.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The EDP Meia Maratona de Lisboa starts on the south bank of the Tagus, right on the 25 de Abril Bridge. That alone puts it in rare company. You don\u2019t often get to run across a 2-kilometre-long, 70-metre-high suspension bridge that\u2019s usually filled with traffic!<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">From there, it\u2019s largely flat and forgiving. Long straight sections help you lock into pace, and the gradual approach into Lisbon keeps things smooth rather than punchy. The finish line sits near the Jer\u00f3nimos Monastery in Bel\u00e9m, which makes for a memorable final kilometre even if your legs are starting to flag.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This race is also part of the SuperHalfs series, alongside Berlin, Copenhagen, Prague, Cardiff, and Valencia. That puts it firmly on the radar for runners chasing structured goals rather than novelty medals.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-6475c10 e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"6475c10\" data-element_type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-5ef3293 elementor-widget elementor-widget-html\" data-id=\"5ef3293\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"html.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<iframe src=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/maps\/d\/embed?mid=1NsTM2feFBwIoRPFphSbryHKc8-qGPXk&ehbc=2E312F\" width=\"640\" height=\"580\"><\/iframe>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-fa27d29 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"fa27d29\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"i4ewOd-pzNkMb-QClCJf-giiMnc-V1ur5d-haAclf\"><em>Source: Maratona Clube de Portugal<\/em><\/div><div class=\"dIxMhd-bN97Pc-b3rLgd\"><div class=\"dIxMhd-bN97Pc-Tswv1b-Bz112c\">\u00a0<\/div><\/div>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-7ef5072 e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"7ef5072\" data-element_type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-0da0939 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"0da0939\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">How to register for the EDP Meia Maratona de Lisboa and what to know<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-e0fd092 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"e0fd092\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Registration for the EDP Meia Maratona de Lisboa is competitive.

It\u2019s one reason the race is so fast.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you\u2019re travelling from colder parts of Europe, Lisbon can feel positively friendly. A light long-sleeve or vest is usually enough, and gloves rarely make it past the first kilometre.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Training-wise, the course rewards steady pacing and confidence. Long tempo runs, pace discipline, and comfort on flat terrain matter more than hill strength.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you\u2019re curious how Lisbon feels around this time of year, you\u2019re in luck.

Staying slightly west of the city centre can also help you avoid race-morning bottlenecks.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Your best bet is to find an apartment or villa that suits runners travelling solo, with partners, or in small groups.
