Event summary
The Mimosa Pela Vida 2026 is a solidarity running event taking place on May 17, 2026, in Lisbon. It features a 5 km distance with a time limit of 2 hours, designed to raise awareness and funds for the fight against breast cancer.
This race is open to all participants aged 8 and above, including people with disabilities and mobility challenges, who can participate with the assistance required. It is a socially impactful event rather than a competitive race, though it includes elite male and female categories and team collective prizes.
The route runs from Santos through Belém, finishing at the Torre de Belém, offering runners a scenic course along Lisbon’s riverside. The atmosphere is inclusive and community-oriented, focused on solidarity and raising funds for breast cancer screening equipment. Participants can also benefit from free transport to the start and a family-friendly environment.
