EDP Lisbon Marathon

Organizzazione pessima al ritiro del pettorale non trovavano quello che mi avevano assegnato me l’hanno cambiato con un altro dove non c’era l’indicazione del mio tempo previsto così mi hanno fatto partire per ultimo ma la cosa che mi ha infastidito è che ho provato al centro maratona se il chip del nuovo pettorale era abbinato al mio nome e non funzionava; l ho fatto presente (dopo essere stato mandato da un desk all’altro perché nessuno sapeva darmi informazioni a riguardo ) con un certo senso di fastidio mi hanno detto che era tutto a posto e infatti alla fine della gara non risulto in classifica!! Benché a Lisbona facessero 30 gradi tutta la settimana hanno deciso di anticipare la partenza dalle 10:30 previste alle 9:00 soltanto il tardo pomeriggio e nemmeno mi è arrivata per mail una comunicazione ufficiale. Percorso poi in periferia parte la partenza del ponte. Mezza decisamente sopravalutata

The route was good, the 6km run out and loop back was a good warm up and the run towards Lisbon has 2 moderately steep hills but nothing too challenging, there was many water stations throughout and a great atmosphere. Would recommend as a second or third marathon but not a first because of the heat.

There were some great views from the South across the Atlantic.

I would like to select all of the above. Beautiful, pretty flat route along the ocean, only 7500 marathoners. The Half marathoners do NOT meld into the Marathoners like they use to with RnR. Lisbon is a fabulous city and if you get a chance, go to Porto. Most all Portuguese know English and are extremely friendly to tourists. Pasta dinner was at a real restaurant on the water and excellent. Plenty of portolets at start, fluid stations at least every 3 miles, some with GU, Powerade, bananas. Fantastic volunteers. The finish is flat and fun going under the Gloria Monument into the square. Don’t worry about the few sections with cobblestones-they aren’t long and not very frequent. Coming from Texas, the 60’s temps weren’t bad, and the spray stations were fun. Expo, Dinner, Train station are all far apart from the hotel we stayed in. Taxi or Uber. I had a private driver take me to start, but most runners took train. Highly recommend this Marathon and Portugal, if you have never been.

One could PR at this Marathon. If I can be 67 and cramp at Mile 19 and walk/run the last 7 miles and still come in under 4 hours, you can PR!

This is different for 2018, now it is the "EDP Lisbon Marathon" and it took place on Sunday 14th October starting in Cascais. I did my personal best here without really having that as a goal. The sea view is good for most of the route, and the finish in Lisbon under the Arco da Rua Augusta and then into the Comércio Plaza was a really nice way to end the race. I really like my medal too.

Amazing route with beautiful scenery, highly recommended! The weather conditions in October were perfect. The organization of the event was good too!

The route was Amazing for the biggest part mostly flat race,the only negative was that you had to take the first train to go to start and you didn’t had time for a warm up,the weather was too hot with a lot of humidity 22°c at 05:00 90% humidity

Beautiful view! Very kind helpers and motivating crowd.

Great atmosphere and event!

( -1 pour une Erreur de SAS de départ 5/6h), il aura fallu doubler... le format aller simple est tés bien, le départ et l'arrivée était désorganisé (post COVID),

Great view, flat route… but too late start… it was too hot

Good organized race and nice course along the river in good environmental conditions. Great city for sightseeing and eating :)

I was vice champion age group 55-59 of Portugal

The 2018 edition was a disaster. The organisation wasn't prepared to the massive rain and cold.

nice route.

Very pleasant route by the sea. Sadly it is no longer in the R'n'R Marathon series calendar. Music was fantastic though. I highly recommend it. I'd suggest booking B&B in Cascais (starting point) the night before the marathon as the trains from Lisbon get very crowded with all the runners in the morning.
