Choosing a road marathon in Portugal
Plan transport around the published start
Use the edition-specific start location and transport instructions when planning Lisbon or Porto. Do not assume an older route or start venue still applies. Check number collection, the journey to the start and your return from the finish separately, and leave bookings flexible where the next edition is still awaiting confirmation.
Keep dates, distances and timetables together
Lisbon and Porto both have separate full-marathon and half-marathon events. Follow the entry and timetable links for the correct distance rather than carrying over details from another race. Where official information disagrees or a newer programme has not been published, the guides explain the uncertainty; confirm the final runner instructions before race day.
