Maya Marathon. Run in the jungle

About the Event

Immerse yourself in the tropical paradise of Cozumel, Mexico for an unforgettable running adventure. This vibrant island offers more than just breathtaking scenery; it’s home to world-class sporting events like IRONMAN and has been at the forefront of hosting post-pandemic sports activities.
Participants have the unique opportunity to stay in a luxurious 5-star all-inclusive hotel situated right next to one of the planet's most stunning coral reefs. The event spans five days, packed with activities that cater not only to runners but also to those who wish to explore Cozumel’s rich cultural heritage and natural beauty.
The marathon, half-marathon, or 10k route weaves through Punta Sur Natural Park, offering a mix of terrain including pristine beaches, lush vegetation, and dirt tracks overlooking the sea. The course is designed with runners in mind; it's flat and closed to traffic for safety, ensuring that participants can focus solely on their run.
The race day experience includes aid stations every 7 kilometers stocked with fresh local produce and hydration options. This ensures runners are well-supported throughout the event while enjoying Cozumel’s lush surroundings.
Beyond the running events, your stay is filled with activities such as snorkeling in clear waters teeming with marine life or exploring ancient Mayan archaeological sites to gain insight into Mexico's rich history. Cultural visits provide a deeper understanding of local traditions and offer unique photo opportunities amidst historical ruins.
The package includes round-trip transfers from Cozumel International Airport, all-inclusive accommodations for five days, complimentary activities like snorkeling, race course recognition trips, farewell dinners with trophy presentations, finisher medals, technical running jackets, and more.
This event is part of the Wild Marathon Series Championship, which also features races in Morocco, Nepal, Tanzania, and Finland, making Cozumel’s leg a must for international runners seeking diverse challenges.
Experience the magic of Cozumel during December when temperatures are mild and rainfall minimal, creating ideal conditions for both racing and relaxation. Join us to create memories that will last a lifetime amidst one of Mexico's most picturesque landscapes.
