Panamá Maratón
Lo esencial
Panamá Maratón es la carrera de ruta de larga distancia más importante de Panamá y se ha posicionado rápidamente como un evento destacado en el calendario de running de América Central. Creado para celebrar la riqueza cultural de Panamá y su costa del Pacífico, atrae tanto a corredores de élite internacional persiguiendo marcas rápidas como a corredores recreativos que desean una experiencia de maratón tropical única. La salida temprana ayuda a vencer el intenso calor y humedad ecuatorial, mientras los organizadores garantizan seguridad, estándares internacionales y una atmósfera festiva con fuerte participación comunitaria. Actualmente, adidas es el patrocinador titular. El recorrido es predominantemente plano y veloz, guiando a los corredores por los puntos de referencia más importantes de la ciudad de Panamá. Espera largos tramos abiertos en la Cinta Costera con vistas panorámicas del skyline, transiciones hacia la Calzada de Amador con sus espectaculares vistas de la bahía, y circuitos por barrios vibrantes con apoyo entusiasta de los locales y estaciones de música. Los puestos de avituallamiento son frecuentes y bien dotados de personal para el clima tropical, y el paisaje alterna entre rascacielos modernos, brisa costera y zonas verdes. La atmósfera es energética y acogedora: bandas en vivo, bailarines locales y multitudes que animan a los corredores durante todo el recorrido. Panamá Maratón cumple con estándares internacionales de medición: el recorrido está medido y certificado por AIMS, es reconocido como clasificatorio para Boston, y se ajusta a los protocolos de medición de World Athletics, lo que lo convierte en opción ideal para corredores enfocados en lograr marcas clasificatorias o su PR personal.

The race starts very early (04:00) to beat the tropical heat and is known for a mostly flat, fast course that runs along Avenida Balboa and the Cinta Costera with panoramic views of Panama Bay and the city skyline.
Finishers receive a custom medal and a technical race shirt, and the post-race finisher area provides refreshments including water, electrolyte drinks, fresh fruit and light snacks.
There is an official race expo the day before with packet pickup and a kids fun run on race weekend, and the event offers awards for top overall finishers and standard five-year age-group prizes.
Aid stations are staffed roughly every 2–3 kilometers offering water and sports drink, and medical tents and cooling stations are positioned near the finish due to typically high humidity and temperatures in September.
Runners are strongly advised to arrive early and use public transit or team buses because road closures reduce parking near the start/finish areas, and to plan race-day hydration and pacing for hot, humid conditions.
The 2026 edition is presented by adidas as title sponsor (adidas - Panama City Marathon); registration and ticketing through tickets.tikea.co with tiered pricing that increases as race date approaches or quotas fill.
