About the Zurich Marató Barcelona
The Zurich Marató Barcelona is a major spring road marathon in the Catalan capital. Its current identity is fast and urban: a large international field, an early-March calendar slot, and a course designed to keep runners moving through the city rather than sending them into quiet outskirts.
Course
The course starts on Passeig de Gracia and stays entirely urban, with staggered starts based on expected pace. The event promotes the route as a fast city course with support points spread across Barcelona and a finish experience built around the central race footprint.
Race-day weather
Mid-March in Barcelona is usually friendlier than summer racing, but it is not automatic PR weather. Runners can see cool starting temperatures, Mediterranean humidity, light rain, or sun that makes the last 10K feel warmer than expected.
