Starting in <strong>Carcavelos<\/strong>, athletes run along a mostly flat and fast route, always with a view of the sea, along the famous Marginal. This stunning scenery not only inspires but also helps maintain your pace.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The course passes iconic landmarks like Estoril and the Bel\u00e9m Tower before finishing in the heart of Lisbon at Pra\u00e7a do Com\u00e9rcio. The finish line, with a roaring crowd, is an unforgettable moment of pure emotion and triumph.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Logistics and Practical Information<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>To make sure nothing goes wrong, here are a few key points for race day logistics:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Start and Finish:<\/strong> The start is in Carcavelos, while the finish line is in Pra\u00e7a do Com\u00e9rcio. Public transportation and shuttle services will be available to the start area.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Bib Pickup:<\/strong> The &#8220;Marathon Expo&#8221; is where you&#8217;ll need to pick up your race bib and athlete kit. Keep an eye out for the dates and location, which are usually announced during the week of the event.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Aid Stations:<\/strong> The course will have regular aid stations with water, energy drinks, and fruit.

The big day requires strategy and focus:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Nutrition:<\/strong> Stick to the plan you&#8217;ve practiced. Don&#8217;t try anything new on race day, either in terms of food or drinks.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Pacing:<\/strong> Maintain a consistent pace in the first few kilometers. The excitement of the start can lead you to go faster than planned, but patience pays off in the end.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Hydration:<\/strong> Drink regularly, even if you don&#8217;t feel thirsty.
