The start of the Vodafone 10K is at the toll booth on the 25 Abril bridge on the south bank.
The starting gun is set for 10:05 am, but the Fertagus trains for the start stop at 09:10 am, so the Vodafone 10K runners must be at the start area before that timing. To ensure a good start, the organization urges all participants to arrive early at the starting area and suggests, based on the race BIB, which Fertagus trains to take.
Access to the departure point on the 25 de Abril bridge is exclusively via Fertagus Pragal station. To get to the departure point, participants must use Fertagus trains and get off at Pragal station. The Fertagus trains are the only way to get to the start, coming from the south bank or the north bank. Arriving at Pragal station, participants must follow the instructions on site and go to their departure box.
The journey between Pragal station and the departure takes between 10 and 15 minutes. Participants should consider that thousands of athletes will be traveling to the start and that there may be security checks along the way.
Fertagus has 14 stations, including Pragal station. On the Lisbon side, there are four stations: Roma-Areeiro, Entrecampos, Sete-Rios, and Campolide. On the south bank, Fertagus has 9 (nine) stations: Corroios, Foros de Amora, Fogueteiro, Coina, Penalva, Pinhal Novo, Venda do Alcaide, Palmela and Setúbal.
Check the Fertagus train timetable on the race day, here.
Fertagus trains are free for participants upon presentation of their race number.
Participants may also opt for the available shuttle that leaves Belém (in front of Pasteis de Belém) towards a Fertagus station (depending on the available station) between 07:00 am and 08:00 am.
