Join #TeamSpinal for Portugal’s biggest running event and the first of the 2025 SuperHalfs Series! 27,000 runners flock to Portugal’s capital every year for the EDP Lisbon Half Marathon. Having taken place for over thirty years, the course follows the shores of the River Tagus and has on three occasions played host to the half marathon world record, in 2000, 2010 and 2021. A particularly famous part of the course traverses the iconic bridge (Ponte 25 de Abril) giving you spectacular and unbeatable views of Lisbon. This marathon is a chance to revel in the city of a thousand colours as you run for a future without paralysis.
