Official event pageWhat this race demands
The EDP Maratona de Lisboa requires sustaining a standard marathon distance over 42.2 kilometers along a coastal and riverside route in Lisbon.
Distance endurance
Covering 42.2 kilometers requires rigorous structural conditioning to manage the repetitive impact and muscular fatigue inherent to the full marathon distance.

Sustaining effort across the entire span of the marathon demands precise early pacing to prevent premature glycogen depletion.
A carbohydrate intake of 60 to 90 grams per hour is recommended to maintain energy levels throughout the duration of the marathon effort.
