Lisbon Marathon
Lisbon Marathon is a flat marathon in Lisbon, Portugal, held each October. Point-to-point from Carcavelos along the Atlantic coast and the Tagus to a finish in Praça do Comércio — flat, though exposed to wind off the ocean. Mild autumn conditions, around 14-22C. Flat courses like Lisbon's reward metronomic pacing — the danger is going out faster than goal pace because it feels cheap early.
