The event in a few words
Welcome to Ibiza! The most festive athletic island in the Balearic archipelago 🗾. That's right! Ibiza isn't just a party island; it's also a sporting hotspot 🔥. We've found the perfect race for you: the Ibiza Marathon 🏃. The bonus is that you can choose from three different distances: the 12 km for sprinters, the 22 km for those balancing endurance and speed, and the 42 km for the boldest or most motivated 😌. You'll see, the Santa Eulària Ibiza Marathon is a must-see on the Spanish running landscape 🇪🇦, renowned for its beauty and challenge. Over 6,000 runners are expected across all distances 😮. Let's dive in 👇. Let’s take a pill a run in Ibiza!
This event will take place in the spring, during the month of April 🌸. This means you'll enjoy the best possible weather conditions: bright sunshine with a pleasant breeze! 🌬️ You'll still need a lot of water 🥤 and strength to tackle these challenging races. Indeed, the Ibiza marathon will be held in the afternoon 🥵. Moreover, it takes place on an extremely hilly island, even mountainous ⛰️, so much so that the entire first part of your race will be uphill 📈. Then, you'll head back down to the seaside 🌊, finishing at Santa Eularia des Riu 🏁. The 30 km wall will hit right mid-descent towards the finish line 😳. This marathon is therefore technical, demanding, hot, and challenging, requiring thorough preparation 💪. The 22 km Ibiza, starting at Santa Gertrudis, is run entirely on a downhill gradient 📉, while the 12 km offers two lovely climbs (less intense and shorter than those of the marathon, of course 😌).
For those starting to feel discouraged, it's also important to know that besides being tough, the Santa Eulària Ibiza Marathon is also one of the most beautiful marathons in the Mediterranean 😍. Yes, with its whirl of towns, nature scenery, and seaside views, you'll travel through the island's diverse atmospheres. If you've spent most of your time in the city's clubs 🕺, you'll be dazzled by its stunning beauty and lush nature 🌴. What's more? The organizers, of course! ✋ We're in Ibiza📍, so you can expect some vibrant races. Entertainments such as bands 🥁, costumes 🦸♀️, and performances are planned along the routes.
David Guetta can wait! 🎶 It's time to enjoy the vida loca at the Santa Eulària Ibiza Marathon! 🤪

Ready to discover the gem of the Balearic Islands? 🗾 Then the Santa Eulària Ibiza Marathon is perfect for the explorer you are 🤠.
Prepare your cap, you're going to start in the mid-afternoon (3:30 PM) 🥵 from the Paseo Marítimo de Port d'Eivissa ⛵, in the Vila area, which offers an exceptional view of the historic city, the castle of Dalt Vila, and the marina ⚓. Expect that it's not just your head that will heat up, as the race that awaits you features a lot of elevation (ouch, the legs 🦵🔥).
You will start on the Camí Vell de Sant Mateu, a rural area that contrasts ⚡ with the rich and exuberant city atmosphere. Hold on tight, as this part contains the most elevation on the route 🥵. Indeed, it's from km 7 that you'll begin your ascent to Santa Gertrudis, located at km 21. It starts strong! However, you will enjoy exceptional panoramas for almost the entire first half of your run, which should help you surpass yourself 💪.
It's at Santa Gertrudis, the starting point of the half marathon, that you'll begin the second part of your 42 km. You will enter "the island's most authentic zone" 🤌. The large white houses and pedestrian streets of the town will surely capture your attention... 🥰
Take advantage of it, as you will soon leave this beautiful sunny city 🌞 behind to gradually descend towards the sea 🌊, starting from km 25. Along the way, you'll be able to admire the many pines 🌲 that have invaded this rural expanse of the island. But be careful not to get too distracted! You will need to accompany your legs well in this descent and prepare to face the 30 km wall.
Once back in town, and specifically at Puig d'en Missa and in Santa Eulària des Riu, you will pass through the main roads along the seafront under the cheers of supporters 📣👏. We hope these supporters will give you the courage and energy to start your final stretch: the one from Es Canar beach leading to Santa Eulària des Riu, the finish line 🏁.
The Finisher's medal and the view of the Mediterranean are yours 🫶. By the way, if you want to see it up close, you can rush to the beach, it's just nearby! 😜

Half-marathon runners will be delighted to rush to the 22 km of Ibiza! 😊
The half-marathon begins in Santa Gertrudis, a typical, traditional town on the island full of charm 🥰. You will set off full of energy 🔋 and start to wander through the cobbled pedestrian streets and between the white houses. Fortunately, you won't have many elevations to overcome before starting your descent to the seaside 🌊. You will need to be cautious and protect your ankles! ⚠️
Along the way, you can admire the pine forests 🌲 covering this rural part of the island, while enjoying sublime views 🤩. You will then arrive at Puig d'en Missa, an iconic place on the island, before entering Santa Eulària des Riu via its main roads and along its coast. You can then dash for the final sprint 🚀 leading to the finish line located at the port 🛟, under the cheers of the crowd 👏.
Come on, now vamos a la playa, it's right there! 🏖️
