Itinerary
Touch down in Lisbon and head straight to the Sport Expo to collect your Lisbon Marathon bib. Admin done, we're jumping on Tram 28 into the Alfama, Lisbon's oldest neighbourhood, a tangle of medieval streets and hilltop viewpoints with the Tagus glittering below. Find a Fado house, order a Vinho Verde, and let the city set the tone.
Hardest HighlightA Fado singer starting up in a candlelit Alfama bar the night before race day. Mournful, powerful, and somehow exactly what you need.
What's Included
- Guaranteed entry to the EDP Lisbon Marathon
- Race expo visit
- Hostel accommodation
- Carb-load dinner for full marathon runners
We head to Belém for a light shake-out along the Tagus riverfront, the same stretch you'll be racing tomorrow. Then it's straight to the Pastéis de Belém bakery for the only pre-race fuel that matters: custard tarts made to a secret recipe unchanged since 1837. Legs loose. Glycogen loaded. Ready.
Hardest HighlightRunning the Tagus waterfront in the morning quiet, Jerónimos Monastery on one side, the river on the other. A preview of what race day looks like when you've still got energy.
What's Included
- Guided shake-out run
- Hostel accommodation
This is it. The 8:00am gun fires in Carcavelos on the Atlantic coast and you're off. The first 25km of the Lisbon Marathon route hug the ocean, rolling and relentless, before pivoting inland along the Tagus.
The Finish: You cross the line at Praça do Comércio, Lisbon's grand riverside square, with the Tagus behind the finish arch and the city in front of you. It's one of the most beautiful finishes in European marathon running.
The After-party: And the fun doesn't end there as we've organised our own venue for an outrageous afterparty. The beveraginos will be flowing and the dance floor will call all our names as we celebrate everything we've accomplished together.
Hardest HighlightThe Belém stretch at km 35: the Tower to your left, Jerónimos Monastery to your right, and the finish line three miles away. Pain meets beauty. You won't forget it.
What's Included
- EDP Lisbon Marathon race day
- Private Hardest Adventures after-party
- Hostel accommodation
Legs are done, so we keep it slow. A gentle walk through Belém to the Jerónimos Monastery: UNESCO-listed, built to celebrate the Age of Exploration, and the resting place of Vasco da Gama. It's been standing since 1502. It doesn't care about your sore quads. One last pastel de Belém, then home.
Hardest HighlightStanding inside Jerónimos Monastery with a finisher's medal in your bag. Vasco da Gama sailed to India from here. You ran here from the Atlantic. Close enough.
What's Included
- Breakfast
