About the Media Maratón de Bogotá

Media Maratón de Bogotá brings tens of thousands of runners across its 10K and 21K events and draws athletes from around the world. Its long-running international status and roughly 2,600-meter elevation make it a distinctive test rather than a routine city half.

Course

The 21K starts and finishes at Simón Bolívar Park and uses broad avenues linking historic streets with modern Bogotá. The route is runnable, but the altitude rewards controlled early pacing and realistic sea-level time expectations.

Race-day weather

Cool Bogotá mornings can help, but high elevation magnifies effort. Sun, cloud, and showers can all arrive during the race window.
