Maratón Internacional de Mendoza
The Lowdown
The Maratón Internacional de Mendoza (MIM), organized by Fundación Filípides, is the flagship marathon of Argentina's wine capital and one of South America's most prominent road races. First run in 1999, it marked its 25th anniversary in 2025 and drew over 11,000 runners across all distances in 2026. The 42K course starts at the iconic Puente Colgante de Cacheuta (the Cacheuta hanging bridge) and finishes at the gates of Parque General San Martín, tracing a net-downhill route alongside the Río Mendoza and through the vineyards of Luján de Cuyo, with the Andes as a constant backdrop. A full member of AIMS (Association of International Marathons and Distance Races), the race also offers 21K, 10K, and 4K options and is a centerpiece of Mendoza's running and wine-tourism calendar.
