The Lowdown

Microbiot Fit Sunset Rush Acapulco is an annual road race staged along Acapulco's Zona Diamante beachfront, in the southwestern Mexican state of Guerrero, with start and finish at Arena GNP Seguros. Organized by Fhinix Sports together with the Municipio de Acapulco and the Government of Guerrero, the event dates back to 2024, when it launched as the ½ Maratón Acapulco Microbiot Fit; by 2025 it had rebranded under its current sunset-timed format, and the 2026 edition — held January 31 — drew more than 2,000 runners from across Mexico. The race offers three distances, 5K, 10K, and 21K (half marathon), all sharing the same course loop through the Diamante district. True to its name, the half marathon and shorter distances are staged to finish around dusk, framed by a pre-race DJ warm-up, ambient fog and lighting stations along the route, and a post-race recovery and social zone with ice baths and live music. Runners booking through the event's Princess Mundo Imperial hotel partnership have received up to two complimentary race entries per room. Both the 2025 and 2026 editions ran on January 31, and the organizers have not yet published a 2027 date; the next edition is projected for the same late-January slot.
