Maratón CAF Caracas

Venezuela's flagship marathon, held annually since 2016 in the capital, Caracas. Long sponsored and organized by CAF – Banco de Desarrollo de América Latina y el Caribe (the Latin American development bank), the race starts and finishes at Parque Los Caobos and offers Marathon (42.2K), Half Marathon (21.1K), and 10K distances. The 2026 edition (its 10th) drew roughly 10,000 runners across all distances and served as the Venezuelan National Marathon and Half Marathon Championship, plus a qualifier for the 2026 Central American and Caribbean Games in Santo Domingo. Despite Venezuela's prolonged economic and political crisis, the event has continued to grow rather than shrink, with entry fees quoted and paid in USD (or the bolívar equivalent at the official BCV rate) to insulate the race from hyperinflation. The next edition is scheduled for February 21, 2027.
