The Maratón TotalEnergies Murcia Costa Cálida is a running event held in early February in Murcia, southern Spain, featuring marathon, half marathon, and 10 km races. The city is known as “the garden of Europe,” and the February timing offers runners cooler conditions compared to Murcia’s intense summer heat.
The race follows a fast city course that goes near Murcia’s monuments, making the full marathon more than just a road run on the outskirts. Over 10,000 athletes are anticipated, drawing participants from around the globe with supporters expected along the streets. Musical performances and other activities are part of the day. Visitors can extend their trip to explore nearby attractions such as the Cathedral of Murcia, Castillo de Monteagudo, Carrascoy and El Valle Regional Park, and the Mar Menor beaches.
