coastalboutiquedebut race
In October 2026, Estepona — a jewel of the Costa del Sol in Málaga province — hosts a marathon and half marathon for the first time in its history. Organizers describe it as a 'boutique marathon,' capped at 2,000 runners for a more personal, less crowded race experience. The course runs the full length of the town's seafront promenade (23 km of coastline), through the old town and the Botanical-Orchid Garden, showcasing Estepona's beaches and whitewashed streets. The race starts at the Estepona Athletics Stadium, with a 5-hour-30-minute time limit.
