Maya Marathon. Run in the jungle

About the Event

Immerse yourself in the vibrant paradise of Cozumel, Mexico, for an unforgettable running experience that combines scenic beauty with luxury and adventure. This five-day extravaganza offers marathon, half-marathon, or 10k distances through a lush landscape that blends pristine beaches, verdant vegetation, and stunning sea views.
Cozumel is renowned as one of the best destinations in Mexico for sporting events, hosting prestigious competitions like IRONMAN and being among the first to resume major sports activities post-COVID. The race takes place within Punta Sur Natural Park, a serene setting where participants will run along pristine beaches and through lush trails that offer breathtaking ocean vistas.
The marathon route features a unique blend of terrains: half a kilometer on soft sand followed by 14 kilometers of asphalt roads winding through verdant landscapes, interspersed with seven kilometers of dirt tracks overlooking the sea. The course is meticulously designed to be flat and safe for runners, with liquid and solid aid stations every approximately 7 kilometers, providing fresh local produce to fuel your journey.
The event includes a comprehensive all-inclusive package at a luxurious five-star hotel right in front of one of the world's most spectacular coral reefs. Participants will enjoy an array of activities beyond running, such as snorkeling or diving excursions and guided tours to nearby Mayan archaeological sites. The program also features cultural visits, race circuit recognition trips, a farewell dinner with trophy presentation, finisher medals, technical jackets, and more.
December is the perfect time for this event, offering mild temperatures and minimal rainfall, ideal for outdoor activities. Experience Cozumel's rich natural beauty and vibrant culture while challenging yourself on one of Mexico’s most scenic running routes. This race is part of the Wild Marathon Series Championship, which also includes events in Morocco, Nepal, Tanzania, and Finland.
