The eighth edition of the Santa Eulària Ibiza Marathon, the queen event of athletics on the island, has surpassed 4,500 runners registered when there are still almost two months to go. Thus, it is very close to last year’s 4,800, so far the record number of participants.
This year, the sporting event will be held on April 12 and will have participants from more than 50 countries, consolidating its position as one of the most internationally renowned sporting events in Ibiza.
The Ibiza Marathon will offer three modalities adapted to different levels and demands: the marathon of 42 kilometers, the intermediate test of 22K and the more accessible 12K. All of them will share the iconic finish in Santa Eulària, where runners will cross the finish line with the Mediterranean in the background, one of the hallmarks of the competition.
The organizers have highlighted the excellent reception of this edition, with a large number of foreign athletes and a significant increase in female participation.
