TUI Palma Marathon Mallorca
Mallorca, Spain · Sunday 19 October 2025
Held in Mallorca, Spain's largest Balearic island, this October marathon takes runners through a Mediterranean landscape shaped by centuries of history and natural beauty. The island's mild autumn climate and coastal setting create ideal conditions for distance running, with the race providing a chance to experience one of Spain's most popular destinations beyond the typical tourist experience. Palma's proximity to diverse terrain across the island makes this an accessible event for international runners seeking both competitive racing and a memorable travel experience. The course itself is a trail marathon that keeps runners on relatively flat to gently rolling terrain, with only modest elevation changes across the full distance. Runners will encounter a maximum of 124 metres of gain spread over 42.2 kilometres, which means no sustained climbing or technical descents to worry about. The elevation profile maxes out at just 34 metres above sea level, making this a course where fitness and pacing strategy matter far more than mountain running ability. Expect to settle into a rhythm early and maintain it, with the trail surface offering a softer underfoot experience than road running, though requiring slightly more focus and attention than pavement would demand.
