The 2026 Zurich Marató Barcelona was scheduled for 15 March 2026. A 7 January 2026 organizer note said the 32,000 bibs were already sold out. The 20 March 2026 results story names Abel Chelangat in 2:04:57 and prints two times for Fotyen Tesfay, 2:10:51 in the opening and 2:10:53 in the list, so we are not storing one women's record. This page is the past edition. Use the 14 March 2027 page for the next race.
Better info coming — we're still verifying 5 fields on this race.
Why we'd pick it
- The course profile is not published yet, so there is no fake climbing number here.
- The organizer reports the field sold out; direct entry is no longer available.
- A non-racing partner gets a real weekend here — 5/5.
The course
The 7 January 2026 note schedules this edition for 15 March 2026. The 20 March 2026 results story says the streets held 42.195 kilometres and 32,000 participants. It does not publish a GPX, a climb total, or a start coordinate we can reuse. The course page now on the site is aimed at the next edition, and its downloadable map file is named ZMB26, which is not the same thing as a surveyed 2026 track in this record.
