Zurich Marató Barcelona
14 March 2027 · Barcelona, Spain
iconicscenic
The Barcelona Marathon passes right in front of the Sagrada Família at kilometer fourteen — the course's highest point and arguably its most memorable shot. From there the route winds between Montjuïc and the Arc de Triomf, while March in the city brings near-ideal running temperatures of 10–17°C. The finish area is modest by Majors standards, but come evening it's easy to find fellow runners over a plate of pasta — that's already part of the local ritual.

Weather in March

The expo runs Thursday through Saturday — go on the first day, as some years have seen waits over an hour in the rain.

Dinner before the race
There's no single go-to spot, but a key quirk: Barcelona restaurants often don't open until 8pm — book your carb-loading dinner ahead of time.

Reviews
Jessie Benson (The Right Fits)2024
My 44th marathon. The expo line was surprisingly long — an hour and a half in the rain — but I finished in 3:51 and felt strong the whole way.
Tier One Run Club (блог)2024
The best race of my life — a flat, fast, warm course. I'd recommend it to anyone looking for exactly that kind of marathon.
