THE DREAM

ABOUT THE RACE

A day you'll remember,
long past the finish line.

Held in Castellón de la Plana, this is one of Spain's leading marathons.

It is jointly organized by Club Atletismo Running Castellón and the Castellón municipal sports authority.

Founded in 2010, it will hold its 17th edition in 2027.

It received a World Athletics road-race label in 2021 and is described as the first Spanish regional marathon to receive the certification.

The course is known for a flat, fast course through the Mediterranean port district.

It is a separate event from the city's half marathon marathon, the Mitja Marató de Castelló,

with different organizers and a completely different official website.

Stories from runners who've been there.

From the joy of finishing to the tough moments — read what runners wrote themselves.

Race reports: 1

Roberto TaboadaRan in 2025 · Finish time 3:05:48

“I was running like an automaton, with the goal after each step being the next one.”

The downtown support was fun, but the long straight stretch and isolation in the Grao section were tough. After 23K, Roberto Taboada's pace dropped, so he focused on moving forward one step at a time rather than chasing a time, and cut 10 minutes off his personal best.

Transit card

Tarjeta Ciudadana

Not accepted at the gates — get the local card above Castellón's urban bus network (TUC) charges around €1.20 per single trip, paid on board.

The city's reloadable passes (Tarjeta Ciudadana, Móbilis30) are aimed at residents/youth under 31 with Spanish ID and aren't practical for visiting runners. Castellón is compact and very walkable, so most runners visiting for a race won't need transit beyond the occasional bus or taxi.
