Málaga Marathon and Half Marathon

Paseo del Parque Málaga

The Málaga Marathon starts and finishes on the Paseo del Parque, opposite the University of Málaga’s Rectorate, with the first start at 08:30. A flat, fast course past the port and the old town – and a great day to cheer from the pavement. Expect road closures in the city centre on race morning.Photo: Juan Fernández, CC BY-SA 2.0, via Wikimedia Commons (source)
