Maratón de Estepona Jardin de la Costa del Sol

The Maratón de Estepona Jardin de la Costa del Sol is a 42 km road marathon held in Estepona, located on Spain's Costa del Sol in the province of Málaga. It is scheduled for early October, with the Estepona Athletics Stadium on Avenida Juan Carlos I designated as the race venue. This event establishes Estepona's own marathon and contributes another long-distance race to the Málaga running schedule. The race highlights Estepona's coastal location and its appeal for sports tourism. The city features Mediterranean coastline, over 320 days of sunshine annually, and is situated less than an hour from Málaga-Costa del Sol Airport. Local authorities position the marathon as a component of Estepona's strategy to connect tourism, sport, and quality of life, suggesting the event targets visiting runners alongside local athletes.

The Ayuntamiento de Cuevas del Becerro organizes the event, which is designed for both local engagement and competition. The courses traverse the village and the adjacent countryside, featuring riverside paths, historic irrigation channels, and Mediterranean olive groves. Participants can register individually or in teams of up to three. The event also features children’s races of 100 m, 200 m, and 500 m. The target audience includes running enthusiasts from Malaga province. Organizers emphasize minimal environmental impact, the promotion of healthy activity, and backing for local enterprises.

About Half Marathon races in Málaga

Málaga Training Notes

Málaga hosts 7 Half Marathon races in 2026 within 80 km of the city centre — upcoming dates, recurring series, and other races nearby, all in one place.

Locals run Málaga like a coastal playground, with flat base miles on Paseo Maritimo and sharper trail days above town. Parque Del Guadalhorce gives runners a circa 8 km flat mix of road and trail, with 122 hectares, 5 man-made lakes, and the Guadalhorce river around it. Centro to Baños del Carmen gives a 7 km flat road trot from La Farola. The route runs 7 km with sea views. Monte San Anton gives a circa 4 km trail route with steep inclines and declines. Malaga Running Group meets Wednesdays at 19:00 at the Glass Cube in Muelle 1. Maratón Málaga 2026, Generali Maratón de Málaga, Ponle Freno Málaga 10k, and San Anton Night Trail anchor the calendar.

Locals ride out of the city centre and hit proper terrain fast. El Puerto del León sits ten minutes north of Málaga city centre and gives a 16 km climb at 5.5%, so it works for Z2, intervals, or a clean warm-up before bigger loops. Montes de Málaga brings the gravel, singletrack, climbs, and fast descents north of town. The N-340 runs east through El Rincón de la Victoria, Torre del Mar, Maro, Nerja, and Almuñecar for flatter coastal spins. The El Torcal loop reaches around 100 km and gains 2,000 m of elevation. Eat Sleep Cycle Cycling Hub and Málaga Bike Hire keep the bike crowd sorted. Desafío Málaga and Subida a la Reina sit on the anchor-event list.

Málaga gives runners and cyclists a long season, with around 300 days of sunshine and mild winter training when much of Europe is hiding indoors. Summer brings hot days with very little rainfall, so locals start early, keep the Z2 honest, and save hard work for cooler slots. The sea breeze can make summer to early autumn feel more humid, and apparent temperature can run higher than the number on the forecast. Winter changes the rhythm more than the access, because average daytime maximum temperatures sit around 17°C and most of the year’s rainfall lands then. The Montes de Málaga block cold northern winds, so both sports still roll year-round.
