KLM Curacao Marathon

The KLM Curaçao Marathon is one of the Caribbean’s signature road race weekends and a compelling choice for runners looking to combine a serious event with a true destination experience. Organized by Foundation Run in the Sun, the race is held in Willemstad, Curaçao, with the start and finish based at Corendon Mangrove Beach Resort near the capital. What makes this event stand out is not just the island setting, but the way the course is woven through Curaçao’s most recognizable urban and waterfront landmarks.

The marathon, half marathon, and 10K guide runners along the coast, across the famous Queen Emma pontoon bridge, and over the Juliana Bridge, giving the race a visual character that is difficult to match in more conventional city marathons. The 5K, held on Saturday evening, adds a more festive and accessible entry point to the weekend, making the event appealing to both competitive runners and casual participants traveling with family or friends. All distances are promoted by the organizers as AIMS and World Athletics certified, which adds credibility for runners who care about course standards and official race quality.
