MARATÓN AGUASCALIENTES

The Maratón Aguascalientes has grown into one of central Mexico’s most respected road races since its inception, and the XV edition continues that tradition. Held in the capital city of the state of Aguascalientes, the event draws a mix of elite Mexican and international runners, regional clubs, and recreational participants seeking a fast autumn marathon. The race celebrates local culture and sport with city-sponsored support, volunteer engagement, and festival-style activities that highlight Aguascalientes’ civic pride and history. The course is largely flat and fast, routing runners through wide boulevards, around the modern civic center, past notable landmarks, and through tree-lined neighborhoods that showcase the city’s architecture and public art. Expect long, runnable stretches ideal for personal best attempts and steady pacing, with well-positioned aid stations, enthusiastic local crowds, and live music at key points to maintain momentum. The atmosphere combines competitive focus for elites and an uplifting, community-driven experience for mass participants; post-race festivities typically include cultural performances and local cuisine sampling. The event has been conducted on a certified course and is generally organized to meet AIMS/World Athletics measurement standards and to serve as a Boston Marathon qualifying opportunity for eligible finishers.
