Overview

In late July 2026 Bogotá hosted the Media Marathon, drawing more than 40,000 athletes from over 60 nations on 10‑km and 21‑km courses that started and finished in Simón Bolívar Park. The city’s Institute of Urban Development and the mayor’s office resurfaced over 144,000 m² of road along the route as part of a larger program to improve safety for both competitors and daily commuters.

A week later, Colombian authorities announced additional high‑profile races. The Salt Cathedral of Zipaquirá opened registrations for the Trail Running de Colores, a 6‑km race set 180 metres underground and slated for October 2026, expecting around 5,000 participants. In Ibagué, the Dulima Marathon offered distances from 5 km to the full marathon, attracting hundreds of runners and highlighting the event’s economic boost and its growing role on the national athletics calendar.
