Barcelona Marathon (35th edition)

Still 1 month left before the Barcelona Marathon 2013 takes place on Sunday March 17th at 8:30!!!

The Barcelona Marathon, covering the traditional distance of 42.195 km, is nowadays very popular among professional and amateur runners. Barcelona has become in March the Mecca for athletes of all nationalities. The number of participants continues to grow every year thanks to its wonderful route. It registered 15134 runners in 2011.

Despite the race may not be as famous as the Marathon in New York or in London, the organisation, the views and the human warmth won’t disappoint you. There are lots of participants who take part into the Marathon to raise money to support charities, research, or people in need.

The annual race starts and finishes at plaça Espanya and takes runners through the centre and countless famous sites such as the impressive Sagrada família, Casa Batlló, La Pedrera, the cathedral, La Rambla and the harbour.

It’s like a festival in town. I’ve seen a change in Barcelona lately: there are more people who do exercise in the streets or at the seafront and take part in races. So it’s not strange to see more people running or more spectators cheering the participants up on the 17th of March along the route. It’s an exciting event not to be missed in town if you are around.

84,02 € from 17.001 participants

Registrations close March 3, 2013

Eva Verges

Hello, there! I’m Eva. I’m 33 years old and happy to live in Barcelona, where I was born. Enthusiastic, dynamic, open-minded, friendly and patient. I have always had itchy feet and enjoyed travelling and exploring new places. Eager to learn more and more every day and embark on new adventures for treasure hunts. A Barcelona lover who becomes homesick when is far from her charming city for a long period of time. I like mingling with the melting pot, getting lost in the narrowest medieval streets of the Gothic quarter and smelling the aroma of countless enticing cafés. Its eclectic non-stop style doesn’t let you stay at home. An excellent hostess and tour guide.
