​Playa Del Carmen Half Marathon 2023

​Another half marathon event is coming to Playa Del Carmen!  The last time we remember a half marathon in Playa Del Carmen was back in 2014. Playa actually does not have that many running races and does not have any races that repeat with any frequency.  So, this is an event you might want to join in, and you still have time to train. This half marathon and the two other races, 5km and 10km will be held September 10th 20023. 

• ​The race time is 6:00am for the half marathon and 6:30am for the 5km and 10 km races. 
• The starting point is the 28 de Julio Plaza in front of the Palacio Municipal. The race will start and end here. The official route has not been announced yet. Most likely it will go up 10th Avenue to Corasol neighborhood and around a gold course and then end back at the City Hall. 
• There is a limit to 800 runners. 

For those wanting more races that are run with frequency, there is a marathon in Merida (usually January) and a half marathon in Cancun (usually March). Of course, the Ironman is held on Isla Cozumel. If you are going to be training and want to run in Playa Del Carmen, see our running guide here.

• Youth, both male and female ages 15 to 25 years old.
