At a glance
- The race is scheduled for 27 September.
- The route starts at Arco de Marbella and turns at Puerto Banús.
- Organisers plan to release 150 further places on 1 September at 09:00.
Route for runners and residents
The new course keeps the race on the Marbella and Puerto Banús corridor before returning to the seafront finish.
According to the council, participants will leave from the Arco de Marbella, travel in the direction of Puerto Banús, and use the promenade on the return leg. The finish is planned for Parque del Mediterráneo. The outbound section will use the former coastal road near Puente Romano, a change the council says is intended to make the event easier to manage.
Extra places announced
People who still want to enter should watch the organiser’s registration channels at the stated opening time.
The council says organisers will make 150 extra entries available from 09:00 on 1 September. The notice does not give a closing time or price for those places, so prospective runners should confirm availability and terms directly with the official registration platforms before making plans.
Why this matters in Marbella
The route information is useful both for participants and for people planning travel along the seafront and Puerto Banús corridor on race day.
For residents, visitors and local businesses, the confirmed start, turn and finish points give an early indication of where race activity will be concentrated. The council has not yet published a separate traffic-management notice in this announcement. Anyone who needs to travel through the corridor on 27 September should check official updates closer to the event.
What happens next
Registration and any traffic arrangements remain the practical details to monitor before the event.
Marbella Daily will update this brief if organisers or the council publish further information about access, road controls or the additional entries. The current details come from Marbella City Hall’s announcement.
