Course guide · November
Map, elevation profile and km-by-km guide to one of Spain's flattest marathons. Where it goes, where the start and finish are, and what makes its course along the Ebro and past the Basílica del Pilar unique.
Course · 42.195 km
The Zaragoza Marathon is one of the flattest and fastest marathons in northern Spain. Its course combines the grandeur of the River Ebro with the city's monumental heritage: in 42 kilometres it passes the Basílica del Pilar, the Puente de Piedra, La Seo, the Paseo de la Independencia and the riverside parks.
Whether you are running it for the first time or want to relive the course you already ran, this guide explains where it goes, what the elevation looks like and what you will find in each section.
The Zaragoza Marathon runs alongside the River Ebro, the great natural axis of the city, with the Basílica del Pilar as the defining feature of the skyline. Running past the Pilar with its four towers reflected in the Ebro is one of the most emotional moments on the course — a landscape only Zaragoza can offer.
The course enters the historic centre via the Puente de Piedra and passes alongside La Seo, the cathedral-basilica that shares centre stage with the Pilar. The Paseo de la Independencia, the city's great boulevard, draws the loudest crowds and is where the atmosphere is at its most festive.
The second half of the course borders the riverside parks of the Ebro, with their tree-lined paths and river views. The flat profile and the final kilometres alongside the water make the Zaragoza Marathon a comfortable race all the way to the finish, with the Pilar always in the background.

The Zaragoza Marathon route takes in the city's most representative locations: the banks of the River Ebro, the Basílica del Pilar, the historic centre, the Paseo de la Independencia and the riverside parks. It is a flat, urban and monumental course through the heart of Zaragoza.
The profile is almost completely flat, with barely 80 metres of accumulated elevation gain. Zaragoza sits on the plain of the Ebro, and the course reflects that: it is one of the fastest marathons in Aragón and ideal for a personal best attempt.
The Zaragoza Marathon is held in November, with cool temperatures and ideal running conditions. It is a well-established event in the northern Spain running calendar that attracts thousands of runners from across the region.
