The Lisbon area, including Odivelas, uses the rechargeable Viva Viagem card, sold for about 0.50 EUR at metro station vending machines, ticket offices, and newsstands, then loaded with single tickets or zonal passes covering metro, bus, tram and train. Contactless bank cards are not yet standard for fare payment, so picking up a Viva Viagem card is the recommended approach for race-day travel.

READY TO RUN

From race morning to after the finish.

Your start time, fuel and bag drop.
Know them ahead and the run feels easier.

Late September in Loures and Odivelas is influenced by the Mediterranean climate of the Lisbon area.

The worst summer heat has eased, but daytime temperatures can still reach around 26–27°C,

and the wet season begins around this time, gradually increasing the chance of rain.

The course has gentle rises and descents without sharp elevation changes, so it requires more pace control than a flat course.

Both municipalities are close enough to central Lisbon by public transport that the logistics are relatively straightforward.

Times are local to Odivelas. Check the latest official information before the race.
