Athletics is, along with football, the sport that has always been practiced at Sporting Clube de Portugal.
Having been the most represented club in the Olympic Games, this section of the sports club, headed many decades by athletics coach Mário Moniz Pereira (1921 – 2016), is one of the most decorated Portuguese athletics teams and is responsible for much of the titles won by the sports club throughout its history. Sporting Portugal's athletics department long-distance runner Carlos Lopes won the marathon at the 1984 Summer Olympics in Los Angeles for Portugal, becoming Portugal's first Olympic gold medalist ever.[2] In the 1976 Summer Olympics, he had already won the first Olympic silver medal in the history of Portuguese sports, competing in the men's 10,000 metres.[3]
Since 2011, the annual Sporting running race is organized by the club.[4][5][6]
