Panama International Marathon

The Panama International Marathon (Maratón Internacional de Panamá) is a full marathon event in Panama City, Panama, offering marathon, half marathon, and a 5 km category. The full marathon starts around 4:30 AM, followed by the half marathon and relay events around 6:00 AM, enabling runners to compete early in the cooler part of the day.

The coastal course begins on Avenida Balboa near Hotel Miramar, then continues along the Cinta Costera waterfront, passes landmarks like Mercado del Marisco, and follows Via Israel before reaching the modern district of Costa del Este. The route offers flat urban terrain with a few bridge crossings—ideal for runners pursuing a destination marathon with fast road conditions and city panoramas.

Support on course includes hydration stations roughly every 3 km, medical assistance, timing chip, finisher medal, and a race expo in the city center for packet collection. Registration and logistics reflect standards suitable for international travel runners seeking race reliability and local support.

Beyond the race, participants and their companions can explore Panama City’s attractions: the historic district of Casco Viejo with its colonial architecture, the Panama Canal Museum, Biomuseo, modern skyline views from Cinta Costera, and seafood markets like Mercado de Mariscos. The Panama International Marathon blends athletic challenge with cultural and coastal sightseeing—a running travel experience in the vibrant capital of Panama.
