About the Medellín Half Marathon

The 21K is a separately entered and timed race during Maratón Medellín weekend. It has its own exact distance, start schedule and three-hour limit rather than serving as an incidental marathon split.

Course

The certified route starts and finishes at Parques del Río and follows major Medellín corridors. A valley setting and urban turns make disciplined early effort important despite modest elevation change.

Race-day weather

September in Medellín is usually mild but humid, with rain possible around race weekend. The 6 a.m. start limits heat exposure, though moisture can still raise perceived effort.
