The Mendoza International Marathon is a road race that connects the mountains,

vineyards, and city parks of Mendoza, Argentina.

Full marathon starts from the Caceuta Bridge and ends in front of the gate of General San Martin Park in downtown Mendoza.

The organizers introduce the mountain scenery, Mendoza River, Luján de Cuyo's vineyards, and tree-lined paths as the main scenes of course.

Run along the river towards the city with the Andes Mountains in the background.

The road that starts in the mountains continues through agricultural areas and urban green spaces.

The Caceuta Suspension Bridge at the starting point and the large park gate at the finish line serve as markers at both ends of the race.

A riverside and vineyards appear in the middle, and a section lined with trees changes the scenery leading to the city.

The official competition introduction focuses on linking mountains, rivers, and vineyards into one long road course.

In addition to full marathon, events that have continued since the first competition include half marathon, 10km and 4km.

Half marathon starts from the Portal Vistalva district, 10km starts from the Palmares Valley roundabout, and 4km starts from General San Martin Park.

Even though the starting point for each event is different, they all arrive at the same park.

The long race takes you through scenery outside the city, and the short race takes you around a park.

The finals area in San Martin Park brings together participants who started between the mountains and the city.

Race packs can be picked up at Nabe Cultural on Las Cubas Street in downtown Mendoza.

The official guide explains that you must upload a medical fitness certificate to your Eventick account and complete a digital signature to download the Eventick Pass.

The signature must match the signature on your registered ID card or passport.

Please have your documents and pass ready before arriving on site.
