THE DREAM

About Ibiza Marathon — what makes it special

ABOUT THE RACE

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

The Ibiza Marathon is held every April on the island of Ibiza in Spain's Balearic Islands.

The 10th edition, held in 2027, will take place on Saturday, 10 April,

with the full marathon, 22K and 12K starting from different locations and converging at the single finish on the seafront promenade in Santa Eulària des Riu.

Starting late in the afternoon and reaching the seafront around sunset is the defining feature of this race.

More than 6,500 people took part in the 2026 race, and over 70% of participants came from abroad.

The road to your own record

Picture the course in advance
and find the pace that fits you.

When the city cheers

Streets lined with cheers, runners all around.
You'll be part of that scene.

The trip that follows the run

Take it slow with the finish still in you,
and meet the city all over again.

“I finished in 04:29:35, perfect for 04:30 desired time.”

An Ibiza full-marathon pacer records the journey between accommodation near the start and the expo near the finish, along with adjusting meals for an afternoon start.

Kara WhitesellRan in 2022
“The run was so much fun, although a little warm at about 76 degrees, and we finished strong at a sub 2 hour half marathon time!”

Because I had not trained enough, I changed from full marathon to the 22K. I recorded the race-weekend atmosphere, including the expo at the convention centre, the shuttle bus 1 hour and a half before the start, and the DJ and snacks at finish and finisher medal.

Wolfgang BernathRan in 2021
“I was grateful for every patch of shade cast by a wall or bushes, and the heat felt much more intense than the number on the thermometer suggested.”

This is a record of setting off from Ibiza Port at 3:30 pm in the hot sun for full marathon. I noted that course had about 400 m of cumulative elevation gain. After the finish, I got lost looking for the boarding point for the return bus I had booked in advance.

Froh sind wir über jeden Meter Schatten, den Mauern oder dichtere Gehölze spenden, die Hitze empfinde ich deutlich höher als das Thermometer anzeigt.

“However, last Saturday, clouds and wind appeared only between exactly 3:00 pm and 7:00 pm, so it was not warm at all.”

In 2019, I travelled by bus as the second runner in Relay to the Santa Gertrudis relay point and waited for more than an hour and a half in windy weather. I noted that there was a long, gradual climb from around 14 km.

Runners start · local time — 15:45 full marathon (Ibiza port) · 16:00 12K (Santa Eulària marina, provisional) · 17:15 22K (Santa Gertrudis)

The full marathon starts from Port d'Eivissa at 3:45 pm.

It is an RFEA-certified course and passes through four of the island's five municipalities before finishing on the seafront promenade in Santa Eulària des Riu.

The organisers describe the course as a course that is not easy, so finishing strategy comes before chasing a time.

The time limit has a cut-off of 5 hours 25 minutes, and the finish closes at 9:10 pm.

Runners finishing later cover the final section with views of the sea at sunset.

The 22K starts from the inland village of Santa Gertrudis de Fruitera at 5:15 pm.

The opening section has repeated climbs and descents, followed by a fast section across the interior.

The 12K is a completely flat seafront course starting from Marina Santa Eulària at 4:00 pm (provisional).

All three races finish at the same finish.

For the 2026 race, the full marathon had six pace groups ranging from 3 hours 15 minutes to 5 hours,

while the 22K had groups for 1 hour 40 minutes, 2 hours and 2 hours 15 minutes.

Full marathon finishers can receive physiotherapy in the dedicated recovery area after the finish.

READY TO RUN

From race morning to after the finish.

Your start time, fuel and bag drop.
Know them ahead and the run feels easier.

The bib and runner bag are collected at the runner expo held before the race.

In 2026, the expo took place at the Ibiza Convention Centre (Palau de Congressos d'Eivissa) in Santa Eulària from 10:00 to 20:00 on Friday and from 9:00 to 13:00 on Saturday.

The 2027 venue will be announced later. You need an identity card or passport.

Someone else may collect them on your behalf with a signed authorisation letter and copies of both people's identity documents.

If you cannot attend the expo,

you can collect only the bib on race day: the full marathon next to the Ibiza port start from 13:45 to 15:00, or the 22K next to the Santa Gertrudis start from 14:00 to 16:30.

The runner bag is not provided at these locations and must be collected after the finish.

Because the start and finish locations are different, transport planning is essential.

You must request the organiser's shuttle bus in advance during registration, and you need the wristband issued with the bib to board.

In 2026, buses ran from the expo venue to Ibiza port every 30 minutes between 12:30 and 14:00, and from the finish to Ibiza port between 19:15 and 21:00.

Bag drop was available from 14:00 at Ibiza port for the full marathon and from 14:30 at Santa Gertrudis for the 22K.

Bags could be collected at the tent at the end of the seafront promenade until 21:00 after the finish.

The full marathon has an aid station approximately every 5 km.

Fruit is available at 20, 25, 30 and 35 km, and energy gel is available at 20, 30 and 35 km.

The intermediate time limit are at 10 km at 17:00, 20 km at 18:15, 27 km at 19:15, 30 km at 19:45 and 37 km at 20:40, so pacing the pace in the second half is important.

As the race starts during the day, bring a hat and sunscreen.

Since the sun sets around the finish, pack a light outer layer in your bag.

An RFEA one-day licence costs 5 euros in addition to the Entry fee.

Official hotels near the finish offer discounts with the race code, but several were sold out in 2026.

Times are local to Ibiza. Check the latest official information before the race.
