StephenRan in 2024 · Finish time 3:30:58

“I finished with a chip time of 3:30:58, a PB of some 15 mins but not the bronze age group time that I wanted.”

At Palma Marathon, the runner overcame heat, old-town hills and slippery cobbles to cut about 15 minutes from their personal best. Their pace faded over the final 5km, but they praised the friendly atmosphere and organisation.

Hana ClitherowRan in 2014 · Finish time 1:54:34

“I’m heat exhausted, but I try a final sprint to the line.”

The runner finished Palma Marathon’s half marathon in 1 hour 54 minutes 34 seconds despite strong sun and heat. They enjoyed the old town’s shade and scenery, praising plentiful refreshments and crowd support.

Stations & transport near the venue

Tap a foreign contactless Visa/Mastercard directly on the EMT bus validator — it's cheaper than paying the driver in cash and needs no card purchase.

Getting to the start

no metro serves central Palma — walk from Palma old town, or EMT city bus lines toward Plaza Reina/Catedral (expect diversions race morning)

Per 2026 rules: marathon/half marathon start on Autovía de Llevant, land side, opposite the Cathedral (toward Andratx) at 08:05, 10K at 08:00 nearby.

Per prior editions: Autovía de Llevant closed to traffic from 01:00 Sunday until 17:00, Paseo Marítimo closed both directions from 06:30 between Porto Pi and Avenida Argentina.

Getting to the finish

same area as start — walk from Palma old town; EMT buses to Plaza Reina/Catedral (diverted)

Finish in front of the Cathedral in the old town, near Parc de la Mar/the Joan Miró mural (per prior-year sources).

More details

No dedicated runner shuttle found.

Per prior editions, EMT and TIB buses run diverted routes race morning (L3, L4, L7, L18, L20, L23, L31, L35 and airport line A1 affected ~06:00-16:00);

progressive reopening from 13:00.

More details

EMT Palma finished rolling out contactless bank-card payment across its whole bus fleet in early 2026, and reporting describes roughly a 40% discount for tapping a card versus paying cash (e.g. airport routes €3.00 by card vs €5.00 cash;

standard urban ~€1.20 by card vs €2.00 cash) — treat these as indicative, not guaranteed, since fare structure has been under active reform through 2026.

SFM regional trains/metro are a separate operator with their own ticket machines (roughly €1.60-€4.10 by zone);

the free-travel 'Tarjeta Intermodal' scheme is for registered residents only.
