About the Event

Since its inception in 2005, the Guayaquil Marathon has become an iconic fixture on Ecuador's sporting calendar. Held annually on the first Sunday of October as part of the city’s vibrant fall festivities, this year’s race will take place on October 4th at dawn, starting precisely at 4:00 AM.
Organized with support from the Municipality of Guayaquil, the event attracts runners and spectators alike who come to experience its unique blend of athletic challenge and cultural immersion. The course weaves through the heart of this bustling port city, showcasing historic landmarks alongside modern urban landscapes. Participants will traverse streets lined with cheering crowds as they navigate a route that balances flat stretches with gentle inclines.
Certified by World Athletics, the Guayaquil Marathon is not just an opportunity for runners to test their endurance but also serves as a qualifier for the prestigious Boston Marathon. The race offers both competitive and recreational runners a chance to push their limits while enjoying the rich cultural heritage of Guayaquil. Whether you are a seasoned marathoner or new to long-distance running, this event promises a memorable experience in one of South America’s most dynamic cities.
As the sun rises over Guayaquil on race day, participants will embark on an unforgettable journey through its vibrant streets and communities, making it clear why this marathon is considered the country's premier athletic event.
