In mid-September, the Loures/Odivelas/Loures Half Marathon and the Coimbra European Triathlon Cup were set to impact vehicle circulation. In the Loures and Odivelas municipalities, restrictions were planned for several avenues, while in Coimbra, major arteries and the Ponte de Santa Clara faced closures, affecting local bus lines.

In mid-October, the Leiria Half Marathon was scheduled to cause similar temporary restrictions in Leiria and surrounding areas. This event included multiple race distances, necessitating closures on roads such as Rua Capitão Mouzinho de Albuquerque and the Ponte Hintze Ribeiro.
