The Costa del Sol Marathon - Estepona features 21K and 42K races in Estepona, a town on Spain’s Mediterranean coast in the heart of the Costa del Sol. Runners begin at 08:30 from the Estadio de Atletismo Municipal, with the event scheduled for October. The race offers both a full marathon and a half marathon distance, catering to different runner capabilities.
The location contributes to its appeal: Estepona boasts kilometers of Mediterranean coastline and over 320 days of sunshine annually. The event evolved from the Estepona Half Marathon, establishing a local foundation. Organizers characterize the new marathon as runner-oriented and deliberately structured to attract both Spanish and international participants; Malaga-Costa del Sol Airport is under an hour away, facilitating this goal.
