The municipalities of Loures and Odivelas are organizing the Loures-Odivelas-Loures Half Marathon for the fourth time on September 20, 2026. Under the slogan “Together for Sports,” the two municipalities are joining forces to revive a track and field event that took place in the 1980s and 1990s and connected the two cities. Coinciding with European Sports Week, the initiative also includes a 10km run, a 5km walk, and a kids’ race for the little ones the day before.
