Los Cabos International Marathon

The Los Cabos International Marathon (Maraton Cabo San Lucas, Los Cabos, BCS) is a destination road marathon on the southern tip of Mexico's Baja California peninsula, where the Pacific Ocean meets the Sea of Cortez. Staged annually in January and organized through asdeporte, the event carries the tagline "Corre entre el mar y el desierto" (Run between the sea and the desert): the course threads between golden Pacific-and-Cortez beaches and dramatic desert landscapes, passing near El Arco, the iconic rock arch at Land's End that defines Cabo San Lucas. Starting at Puerto Paraiso in the heart of Cabo San Lucas at 6:00 a.m. to beat the Baja heat, the race draws thousands of runners from Mexico and abroad across four distances (42K, 21K, 10K, 5K). The full marathon is a flat, near-sea-level course in the dry, low-humidity winter climate typical of Los Cabos, making it a scenic, fast-conditions destination race rather than a certified qualifier. The 2026 edition (Sunday, January 18, 2026) sold out. The listed date is the projected 2027 edition (mid-January, matching the recurring third-Sunday-of-January schedule); confirm the official 2027 date and registration with the organizer.
