THE DREAM

About Medio Maratón de Santiago — what makes it special

ABOUT THE RACE

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

Medio Maratón de Santiago is a women-only half marathon that starts and finishes at Estadio Nacional Julio Martínez Prádanos in Ñuñoa, Santiago, Chile.

Launched in 2025 as Chile’s first large-scale women-only running event, it returns for its second edition on August 30, 2026.

Participants can choose between 21km and 7km, with the field capped at 6,000.

The event is organised by Prokart Producciones and sponsored by Itaú, which is why it is also known as the Itaú Medio Maratón de Santiago.

The start and finish are set on Avenida Grecia in front of Estadio Nacional.

In the inaugural 2025 race, runners started here, followed a course through major avenues in the Ñuñoa area—including José Pedro Alessandri,

Macul, Rodrigo de Araya, Irarrázaval and Salvador—and returned to Estadio Nacional.

This loop remains the basic course structure.

Santiago lies in a basin at around 570m above sea level, so the road gradients are generally gentle.

The 7km and 21km races start separately, and the exact 2026 start times and time limit will be announced by the organisers closer to race day.

Transit card

bip!

Any Metro station ticket office, bip! Centers, bip!

Points, and select supermarkets/pharmacies (Unimarc, Leader, Ekono, OK Market) Works directly at the gates

Base fares run roughly CLP $735 (off-peak) to $895 (peak). Pago Ágil (contactless) currently only supports adult fares, and to keep the integrated transfer discount you must use the same card/device for the whole trip.

Buses aren't covered yet (rollout projected Q4 2026), so runners mixing Metro + bus travel should still get a bip! card.

Santiago's Red Movilidad (metro and buses) requires a rechargeable bip! card, sold and topped up at metro station ticket offices, bip!

Centers or Points, and some supermarkets like Unimarc and Ok Market; cash or contactless bank cards are not accepted directly on board. Loads range from 1,000 to 25,500 CLP, and the card can also be topped up online via red.cl or the Red app then validated at a station totem before use.

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.

Late August is late winter in Chile's Southern Hemisphere.

Santiago's average high is around 14°C and its low around 4°C, so conditions are cool.

There are approximately six rainy days during the month, with rainfall around 25mm,

so prepare for chilly temperatures and a chance of light rain at the early start.

Santiago sits in a basin at about 570m above sea level, where the air is thinner than at sea level;

runners from low elevations should manage their pace conservatively early on.

Course is mainly flat and loops through broad avenues in the Ñuñoa district, with no major climbs.

The start and finish at Estadio Nacional are next to Estadio Nacional station on Santiago Metro Line 6, making public transport convenient.

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