Taking off from Plaça d’Espanya at 08:00 on 15 March 2026, the Zurich Marató Barcelona is one of Europe’s most iconic urban marathons. Runners wind through vibrant neighborhoods, past architectural marvels (Gaudí’s Eixample), along the Mediterranean shoreline, and by Camp Nou and Sagrada Família. The event features chip timing, pacers across diverse pace groups, a large runner expo at Fira de Barcelona, and race amenities built for tens of thousands of participants.
