📜 A brief history: the origin of the Seville Marathon
The Seville Marathon was born in 1985 as a modest race but with a clear vocation: to become one of the fastest and most welcoming marathons in Europe.
Why is the Seville Marathon so special?
Throughout its nearly 40 editions, the Seville Marathon has achieved impressive milestones:
- Flattest circuit in Europe: With practically no gradient, it is the favourite of runners looking for their personal best (PB) or even national and continental records.
- Historic records: The Spanish marathon record has been broken here on several occasions. In 2022, Kenyan Asbel Rutto achieved the second fastest time of the year worldwide.
- International recognition: It is certified by World Athletics (formerly IAAF) and holds the Gold Label, the highest distinction for road races, reserved only for the best in the world.
- A showcase for the Olympic Games: The 2023 edition will serve as a qualifier for the 2023 World Championships in Budapest and the 2024 Paris Olympic Games, attracting more than 200 elite athletes from around the world.
🗺️What is the route of the Zurich Maratón Sevilla 2023?
The circuit will measure the regulation 42.195 kilometres and will be a true open-air museum. Runners will pass by:
- Plaza de España (with its famous semicircle of tiles)
- María Luisa Park (start area and first kilometres)
- Triana Bridge (Isabel II) and the Triana neighbourhood
- FIBES (the Palace of Congresses, also venue for the Goya Awards)
The route is extremely flat, sheltered from the wind and with very few bends, making it a dream circuit for breaking records.

- A boost for Andalusian athletics: Andalusia is a powerhouse in long-distance athletics, and this marathon is the best showcase for its runners.
- A guaranteed success: As Seville's mayor, Antonio Muñoz, stated: "The city will once again throw itself into sport and we will once again demonstrate that Seville is a world capital of running".
