Discoveries Half Marathon Lisbon

The TCS Discoveries Half Marathon Lisbon (Meia Maratona Descobrimentos) is a certified and well-organized city race in Portugal, offering a 21 km route, 10K, and 4K walking distances. Featuring chip timing, pace groups, hydration points, and bib pickup logistics, the event serves both performance runners and sightseeing visitors.

Starting at Praça do Império in Belém, the course runs along Avenida da Índia, circles back past famous landmarks like the Tower of Belém and the Padrão dos Descobrimentos, touches riverside zones near Cais do Sodré, then finishes at the Museu da Marinha. The terrain is flat, offering optimal conditions for personal best attempts or relaxed travel running.

As a destination race experience, it pairs competitive running with immersive Lisbon tourism. Runners can explore historical attractions: Mosteiro dos Jerónimos, Belém Tower, the lively riverside promenade, and nearby Cais do Sodré nightlife. With public transportation access (Tram 15E and Cascais rail line), the capital’s waterfront and cultural districts are easy to reach before or after race day.
