About the Lost City Marathon

Albatros Adventure Marathons packages this race with travel experiences around the Maya city of Palenque. Participation is structured around a tour rather than a simple bib purchase.

Course

The mixed-surface route moves through jungle, rural roads, and paved sections near Palenque. Heat, humidity, uneven footing, and short climbs make pace secondary to durability.

Race-day weather

February is drier than the wet season but remains warm and humid. Shade varies, and runners should plan aggressive hydration and cooling from the start.
