#SaoSilvestreAmadoraLisboa 50th edition #BenficaAtletismo Alexandre Figueiredo the winner 10km 29m 5 seconds womens Laura Taborda of #SCBraga was the winner follow by #Benfica Mariana Vargem the winner of the last two editions

Amadora, Lisbon, December 31, 2025 - Athletes Alexandre Figueiredo, from Benfica, and Laura Taborda, from Sporting de Braga, won today the 50th edition of the São Silvestre da Amadora race, considered the oldest race in Portugal.

In this 'golden jubilee' of the race that began in 1975 and which had Carlos Lopes (Sporting) as the first male winner and Rita Borralho (Benfica), in the women's category that only started in 1980, the title ended up being awarded to two athletes who had never participated in the São Silvestre da Amadora race before.

This difficulty was also evident in Alexandre Figueiredo, who had one of the best times since the race became a 10km event: 29 minutes and 5 seconds. It was necessary to go back to 2011 to find Manuel Damião's record (29 minutes).

"The race is very tough. I had been warned, but I think it was only when I ran it for the first time that I was able to perceive the difficulty of the course. Up to kilometer 6 it's really hard. From there you can recover a bit and come back a little more relaxed. But the race is really tough. I hope to return next year, without a doubt," he concluded.

Sharing the podium with Alexandre Figueiredo were Moussab Hadout, now Spanish, in second place (29.13 seconds) and João Santos, from Sporting, with 29.48 seconds.

In the women's category, Laura Taborda was 'followed' by the winners of the last two editions: Mariana Vargem, from Benfica, with 33.59 seconds (improving last year's record: 34.41 seconds) and Ana Mafalda Ferreira, from Sporting, with 34.24 seconds (she also surpassed her 2023 record of 34.40 seconds).
