KLM Aruba Marathon
Eagle beach, Aruba · Wednesday 2 June 2027
The KLM Aruba Marathon takes place on the island of Aruba in the southern Caribbean, with its course centered around Eagle Beach. The setting is distinctly tropical, with the race routing you past characteristic Divi Divi trees, along stretches of crystalline ocean, and by well-known landmarks including the California Lighthouse. The warmth and support of the local running community line the course, creating an atmosphere that blends competitive running with the relaxed spirit of island life. The course itself is a trail marathon that stays predominantly flat with gentle rolling sections, never climbing above 23 meters in elevation. Runners can expect a mostly straightforward effort without significant climbing or technical terrain, which makes this a good opportunity to push the pace or chase a personal best. The route weaves through the landscape in a way that keeps the scenery varied, moving between beachside stretches and inland sections, so while the terrain doesn't demand much from your legs, the views help pass the distance.
