Maratón de Estepona Jardin de la Costa del Sol

So, who’s up for taking part in a first-time-ever? 🥇

For the very first time, the city of Estepona in Andalusia is launching its own marathon in early October! The Maratón de Estepona Jardin de la Costa del Sol, the new event you can’t miss on the Costa del Sol that offers you two formats to heat up the pavement: a half-marathon for speed lovers and the marathon for those with an iron will 💪. It’s a premiere edition, so it’s the perfect moment to base yourself in southern Spain, where the sun is still generous but the sea breeze cools you down 😌.

The route has been specifically designed to delight your clock: it’s flat, fast and exudes performance ⏱️. It also opens the event up to a wider audience: bring your family and friends, it’s time to put your first bib on a first edition ! You’ll pass through the historic center with its 25,000 hanging flower pots 🌸 before heading along the sea shore. Yes, you can run the 23 km of coastline in one go around the municipality! 🌊 You’ll also pass near the Orquidarium the largest in Europe 🌍, with its futuristic glass domes that will make you feel like you’re racing toward the future 🌿. It’s an ideal setting to chase a personal best without losing even a meter of elevation 😜.

The vibe is set to be electric as the whole city awaits this event with incredible enthusiasm ⚡️. Yes, it’s southern Spain—we know how to party properly! 🎉 We’re not here just to sweat; we’re here to feel the energy. Once you cross the finish line 🏁, the post-race plan is already mapped out: a quick dip at the Playa de la Rada or a sea excursion to see dolphins with your family 🐬. You’ll even get a peek at the mountains of the Sierra Bermeja that watched over you throughout the race ⛰️. Estepona, it’s the perfect mix of competitive adrenaline and Andalusian laid-back living 😎. It’s time to prove you’ve got more juice than an orange from Malaga ! 🍊
