Palma de Mallorca Marathon

Every October, runners from across Europe make their way to Palma de Mallorca for one of the Mediterranean's most scenic marathons. The full 42km route winds through the heart of the city, taking in the seafront promenade, the Gothic cathedral, the old town streets and the palm-lined Passeig des Born, a course that rewards both the eyes and the legs.

Not running the full distance? The Palma 10K runs alongside the marathon on the same day, following a shorter but equally spectacular route through the city centre. Whether you're chasing a personal best or simply soaking up the atmosphere, it's a fantastic way to experience Palma at its liveliest.

The event typically draws over 10,000 participants and an enthusiastic crowd of locals cheering runners on from the pavements. Conditions in October are ideal, warm but not scorching, with mild temperatures perfect for distance running. Entry is open to all abilities, from seasoned club runners to first-timers tackling their debut marathon.
