Race Info
The Mérida Marathon is an annual road race in Mérida, Yucatán, Mexico, held each January as part of the city's founding-anniversary celebrations. The course starts and finishes at the Monumento a la Patria on Paseo de Montejo and continues through Mérida's Centro Histórico. First run in 1986 and originally sponsored by a local paint company, the race has carried several title-sponsor names over the decades and is a Boston Marathon qualifier. Race weekend also includes a half marathon, 10K, and 3K walk starting from the same monument, drawing roughly 6,000 finishers across all distances in the 2026 edition.
