Tejo Race: A tradition since 1981
The iconic Corrida do Tejo took place on 15 September 2024, a 10 km race often referred to as one of the most popular in the country. It has been held annually and consistently since 1981 and its route runs between Algés and Oeiras along Avenida Marginal, along the Tagus River.
“Although the route remained, in its main outline, almost unchanged, the departures and arrivals varied in location. The first varied from the Miraflores area to Pedrouços and, from 2004 onwards, settled definitively in Algés, right on the Marginal road” (Desafiando a Liberdade. 1981-2021. 40 years of the Tagus race. Edition of the Municipality of Oeiras).
The fact that it is a road race characterized by a pleasant route, provided by the setting along the Tagus coast and on a slightly uneven surface, which results in a medium level of difficulty, means that it attracts the participation of many prestigious athletes, but also runners of the most varied levels, including beginners, all sharing the pleasure of running.
The Corrida do Tejo has, over the years, increased the number of participants. If in 1982, in its 2nd edition, it had 2,100 participants, in 2009, according to the Jornal de Oeiras, “[…] 10 thousand athletes colored the Marginal” (A.º VI, n.º 272, p.1, 15, of 27/10/2009).
Currently, the event has a maximum number of 8,000 registrations, a number that is often sold out days before the event, which is a testament to its great support and popularity.
