This isn’t just a simple race you’re about to start: it’s a real journey through history and Hispanic culture 📚, combined with a sporting challenge that you’re going to take on 🎉. And no excuses to back out 😉—the organizers have put everything in place so that all types of runners 👟 can enjoy pounding the streets of this city known as the orchard of Europe! 🍈 Unfortunately, it’s not at the beginning of February that you’ll find the most fruit 🍎, but at least you won’t risk dying of heat during your race 🌡️. The sun in Murcia can push temperatures up to over 45°C in summer 🤯, so enjoy this touch of coolness that will follow you all along your route 🤗.
And speaking of the route! 🤓 It’s in the city that you’ll be able to test your endurance over the half-marathon or marathon distances 💪. The course will take you running as close as possible to exceptional monuments and will offer you an unbeatable view of this big city 🤩. It’s not every day that you’ll have the opportunity to cover that much distance in so little time! 😅 You’ll be one of the many lucky ones who get to do a visit in fast-forward mode 🚀. Because yes, you’ll be in good company! 👨👩👧👦 No fewer than 10,000 athletes from all over the world 🌎 are expected. You’ll also be cheered on by all the supporters who came especially for the occasion! 👏 You won’t know whether you’re really at the TotalEnergies Murcia Costa Cálida Marathon or celebrating Holy Week early, as music 🎶 and entertainment set the rhythm for the day! 😍 But what will give you the most speed is the course itself ⚡️. With a route planned to be completely flat, you’ll have everything you need to aim for your personal best fairly easily ⏱️.
But going to this marathon is also about enjoying some dolce far niente after your race 😌. Indeed, you’ll be able to calmly discover everything that Murcia has to offer you 🎁. Looking to relax? 💆♂️ The beaches of the Mar Menor 🌊 are accessible in under an hour by car 🚗—the ideal spot for some well-deserved rest. Interested in history and culture? The Monteagudo Castle 🏰 and the Murcia Cathedral ⛪ are must-sees. If you’re an epicurean, taste the richness of Spanish cuisine 😋 in one of the city’s many fine-dining restaurants 🍽️. And for lovers of nature 🌿, the Carrascoy y El Valle Regional Park is the ideal place for a hike or a family picnic 🥪.
So, ready for the challenge? Lace up your running shoes and join the starting line ! 🎽
It’s along the banks of the Río Segura that you’ll start this marathon! 🏃♀️
You’ll set off in the East of the city ➡️ to head back down at km 4 onto Region Murciana Avenue. You’ll then turn around to head back toward the city center and make your way toward the north of Murcia ⬆️. You’ll take the main boulevards, so don’t worry—there won’t be any elevation gain on the program! 🥳 You’ll turn around once again, this time to start your second loop! ➿ Yep, you’ll be able to go even faster since you already know the route 😝.
You can then go and cross the finish line—you’ll have earned it ! 🏁
