More than eleven thousand runners are expected to take part this Sunday in the TotalEnergies Murcia Costa Cálida Marathon, one of the region’s biggest mass participation sporting events. The race takes place entirely within the city of Murcia and includes three distances: the full marathon, the half marathon and a ten kilometre run.

The full marathon covers forty-two point one nine five kilometres and is officially certified by the Royal Spanish Athletics Federation and the Athletics Federation of the Region of Murcia. All three distances are included in the World Athletics Global Calendar, and the event has been awarded the World Athletics Label, underlining its international standing.

The race begins at 9.30 am from the Glorieta de España, with the finish line set in the Plaza del Cardenal Belluga, in front of Murcia Cathedral. Organisers say the fully certified route has been designed to offer good conditions for runners aiming for personal bests.

The event is organised by Club Murcia Challenge in coordination with regional and local authorities. Runners will have access to a race expo, recovery zones, medical services, refreshment points and a runners’ bag, with a new dedicated support area located next to the Víctor Villegas Auditorium.
