A Meia Maratona de Évora is an annual road race in Portugal featuring a half marathon distance that starts near the Aqueduto da Água de Prata and finishes in the historic Praça do Giraldo.
What this race demands
The Meia Maratona de Évora demands sustained cardiovascular endurance over a 21.1 km road distance in a historic urban setting.
Aerobic Endurance
Covering the half marathon distance requires continuous running economy and a well-developed aerobic base to sustain pace over 21.1 km on roads.
Late-Race Durability
The transition from the start near the Aqueduto da Água de Prata to the finish in Praça do Giraldo tests muscular and cardiovascular resilience in the final kilometers.
A sustained effort of this duration requires consistent carbohydrate intake of 30 to 60 grams per hour to maintain performance and prevent late-race glycogen depletion.
