This is a very challenging course with 916m of total elevation gain — significantly more than the average road marathon. The route ranges from 50m to 214m above sea level (164m range). Hill training is essential, and runners should expect a significantly slower time compared to a flat course.
Based on historical weather data for April, the expected race day conditions are as follows. Moderate temperatures between 14°C and 21°C are expected. While comfortable for most runners, those targeting fast times should pay attention to hydration, as these temperatures can impact performance over the full distance. There is a moderate chance of rain (25%). Runners may want to prepare for wet conditions but shouldn't expect persistent rainfall.
Lisbon Eco Marathon features a mixed-surface course, combining sections of road with unpaved terrain such as gravel paths, parkland, or boardwalks. Mixed courses add variety but also introduce some unpredictability in footing. Runners should expect slightly slower times compared to a pure road marathon, and road-trail hybrid shoes may be the best footwear option.
