The Lisbon half-marathon is considered one of the most beautiful in the world. This marathon is a chance to revel in the city of a thousand colours as you run for a future without paralysis. Starting at the 25 de Abril Bridge you’ll finish at the Mosteiro de Jerónimos monument as you follow the shores of the River Targus. This is a chance for you to help raise money for Spinal Research while also enjoying the unique splendour Lisbon has to offer. Don’t miss out on the opportunity to be part of this unforgettable experience – join us and make a difference!
