Lisbon Marathon

The Lisbon Marathon is attracting more and more runners each year as its reputation extends as one of the best marathons in the world, primarily because of the beautiful city in which it is run but also because of the high level of organization. Crowds gather to cheer the runners on as they prepare to start the full marathon or the half marathon. The race starts in the Praça do Comércio and does three circular routes, east, west and north, each time returning to the start point.
