Marathon De Merida

The Marat’hon de Mérida, also branded recently as Marathon Mérida Banorte, is a major road-running event held in Mérida, Yucatán, Mexico. The race is closely tied to the city’s anniversary celebrations and has become one of the most important running events on the Yucatán Peninsula. It brings together marathoners, half marathoners, 10K runners, recreational walkers, local clubs, visiting athletes, and spectators in one of Mexico’s most culturally distinctive cities.

Mérida is often called “La Ciudad Blanca,” or “The White City,” and is known for its colonial architecture, Mayan heritage, warm climate, traditional food, plazas, and broad avenues. The race traditionally uses Paseo de Montejo as a central race setting, including the area around the Monumento a la Patria, giving runners a route that highlights one of the city’s most iconic corridors. The event’s mix of sport, civic celebration, and Yucatecan identity gives it a strong destination-race appeal for runners looking to combine a winter race with travel, culture, and warm-weather running.
