On <strong>26 April 2026<\/strong>, the Spanish capital will host its 48th edition, bringing together sport, music and culture in an event expected to attract around <strong>47,000 runners<\/strong> from all over the world. If you love running, this race is a unique opportunity to experience the city to the rhythm of rock.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The race and its distances<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Madrid Marathon is part of the prestigious <strong>Rock \u2019n\u2019 Roll Running Series<\/strong>. The event offers three distances: marathon (42K), half marathon (21K) and 10K. The marathon and half marathon are scheduled to start at <strong>8:45 a.m.<\/strong>, while the 10K begins at <strong>8:00 a.m.<\/strong> This variety of distances allows both first-timers and experienced athletes to enjoy the running festival.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In addition to being a top-level sporting event \u2014 with <strong>World Athletics Gold Label<\/strong> status \u2014 the race stands out for its festive atmosphere. More than <strong>30 live music stages<\/strong> and entertainment points are spread along the route. You will not only run: you will dance and feel the city\u2019s energy in every kilometre.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">A sightseeing route through Madrid<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Madrid\u2019s marathon is not the flattest in Spain, but it is certainly one of the most spectacular. The course begins on the <strong>Paseo de la Castellana<\/strong>, one of the city\u2019s most iconic avenues, and quickly moves through the financial district near the Santiago Bernab\u00e9u Stadium. From there, runners enjoy a true sightseeing tour:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>After setting off along the Castellana, you will pass the <strong>Cibeles Fountain<\/strong> and the majestic <strong>Puerta de Alcal\u00e1<\/strong>, entering the historic heart of Madrid.<\/li>\n<li>The course skirts the <strong>Retiro Park<\/strong> and then heads along the <strong>Gran V\u00eda<\/strong>, where the theatre lights and the cheers of the crowd make the kilometres fly by.<\/li>\n<li>After crossing <strong>Puerta del Sol<\/strong>, the route continues towards the <strong>Royal Palace<\/strong> and descends to the Manzanares River, passing through the green area of <strong>Madrid R\u00edo<\/strong>.<\/li>\n<li>In the second half of the course, the hills begin. Runners pass through the <strong>Casa de Campo<\/strong> and by landmarks such as <strong>Almudena Cathedral<\/strong>, the <strong>Prado Museum<\/strong> and <strong>Cibeles Square<\/strong>, before crossing the finish line on the <strong>Paseo de Recoletos<\/strong>.<\/li>\n<li>Although the views are worth it, you need to manage the elevation well: the course accumulates around <strong>200 m of elevation gain<\/strong>, and Madrid\u2019s altitude \u2014 around 650 m above sea level \u2014 adds an extra challenge.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This route allows runners to discover very different parts of the city, from the modern feel of AZCA to the elegance of the Salamanca district and the historic centre of Madrid. Each area has its own charm and, thanks to the rock bands and the large crowds, the course never feels empty.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Atmosphere and entertainment: a running party<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If there is one thing that sets the <strong>Zurich Rock \u2019n\u2019 Roll Running Series Madrid<\/strong> apart from other marathons, it is its <strong>combination of music and sport<\/strong>. More than 30 bands are stationed along the 42 km course, playing rock, pop, jazz, electronic music and Latin rhythms. Every time fatigue starts to creep in, another band appears to lift your spirits.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The atmosphere in the streets is spectacular. Madrile\u00f1os experience the race as a true celebration, and thousands of spectators gather at key points such as Gran V\u00eda, Sol and Cibeles. Their cheers and applause make the effort easier and ensure you feel supported throughout the race.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Training tips for a hilly marathon<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Running in Madrid means dealing with hills and moderate altitude. To arrive in top shape, it is advisable to start your training plan between December and January. A 16-to-20-week programme will help your body adapt to the demands of the Madrid course. Here are some key points:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Varied training:<\/strong> alternate easy runs, long runs and tempo or fartlek sessions. Do not forget to include <strong>hill repeats<\/strong> to strengthen your legs and adapt to the elevation changes.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Strength work and injury prevention:<\/strong> dedicate at least two sessions per week to strength exercises \u2014 squats, lunges and core work \u2014 as well as mobility and stretching to prevent overload.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Altitude adaptation:<\/strong> if you are coming from a city at sea level, try to arrive in Madrid one or two days before the race to acclimatise.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Nutrition and hydration:<\/strong> plan your fuelling strategy. Take advantage of the aid stations and test gels and drinks during training so there are no surprises on race day.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Rest:<\/strong> respect your recovery days and listen to your body. Rest is just as important as the kilometres you put in.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you are looking for a more specific plan, on our blog you will find advice on <strong>post-marathon recovery<\/strong> and interval training sessions that can help you improve your times. You can also consult specialist guides to tailor your preparation to the course profile.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Practical information and tourism<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Before race day, you will need to visit the <strong>Runner\u2019s Expo<\/strong> at IFEMA to collect your bib, timing chip and runner\u2019s bag. Take the opportunity to discover the latest innovations in sports gear, nutrition and technology, and enjoy the festive atmosphere with concerts and interactive activities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Madrid is an ideal city to combine sport and tourism. After the race, treat yourself to a walk through <strong>Retiro Park<\/strong>, visit world-class museums such as the <strong>Prado<\/strong> or the <strong>Reina Sof\u00eda<\/strong>, and recharge with some tapas in the <strong>Plaza Mayor<\/strong> or at the <strong>Mercado de San Miguel<\/strong>. The capital offers a unique blend of history, art and gastronomy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How SnapRace can help you<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Preparing for a marathon requires discipline and consistency. <strong>SnapRace<\/strong> is an app designed for runners that allows you to create personalised training plans, record your runs and share challenges with friends.
