The Medellín Marathon is the oldest sports competition in Colombia. It is organized by MCM Operador de Eventos, a company dedicated to the management of sporting and cultural events of great magnitude. Medellín is a city in Colombia located in the department of Antioquia in one of the many valleys of the Andean region.
The marathon circuit departs from the emblematic Parque de Las Luces or Plaza Cisneros up the Avenida San Juan to connect with the roundabout of Avenida 80. Continue on this traditional Avenue until reaching 80 with the Club El Rodeo. Turn left and take race 70 in front of Pedro Justo Berrio Infantry Battalion. Continue on this road recognized for being the recreation pole of the city: Juan Pablo II Park (Cra 69B).
Turn right on Calle 30, until Carrera 52 (Avenida Guayabal). Go through Santa Fe Zoo Park until you take the 12th street south on a flat route and link with La Aguacatala. It returns along the Regional Avenue in the south-north direction, near the Eafit University. Take the right (7th street south) between the Jaime Isaza Cadavid Polytechnic and the Inem.
It connects with Las Vegas Avenue in a north-south direction to go towards the Municipality of Envigado. Take the Mayorca Road Exchange. It enters the Municipality of Sabaneta, connects with the Industrial Zone, returns through the lower part of the road interchange of 77 South Street, in the opposite direction.
It continues its passage through the Municipalities of Sabaneta, Envigado and Medellín – Las Vegas Avenue – until it is connected with Carrera 51 (Avenida Bolívar), and turn left on Avenida San Juan, 44th Street and reach our mythical goal.
The Medellín Marathon has been strengthened thanks to a public-private partnership between the Mayor’s Office of Medellín and MCM Operador de Eventos. It is sponsored by EPM as the main sponsor. the most important public utility company in the country, with figures and facts of a social and environmental responsibility that gives meaning to its origin, its development and its business strategy.

After 30 years the Medellin Marathon became a tradition and its organizers came to know their trade. It is the second time I go this distance (26 mi or 42 K) and I wish the same outcome for all marathons to come: I had the chance to achieve a new PB. The only thing I should slightly improve is the number of aid stations on the road. As for the rest, it has nothing to envy to any similar race.
