Build my planFree to start · No credit card
A popular 10 km night road race held annually in December through the illuminated streets and riverside zone of Lisbon, starting and finishing at Avenida da Liberdade / Praça dos Restauradores.
What this race demands
This 10 km night road race demands sustained high-intensity running speed and cardiovascular endurance over a relatively short, flat-to-rolling urban course.
Speed Endurance
Because the event is a 10 km road race, athletes must maintain a pace close to their lactate threshold for the entire duration without extended recovery periods.
Temperature Management
Held in December during the evening in Lisbon, runners face cooler nighttime temperatures that require proper warm-up protocols to prevent muscle stiffness.
