Lost City Marathon

  • Course
  • Itinerary
  • Packages
  • Gallery

Starting at the Archaeological Zone of Palenque, the race takes you past remnants of the ancient Maya city and guides you along lush jungle trails.

After 3km the route transitions to an asphalt path leading downhill until it takes a left turn onto a gravel road. Continuing for a few more kilometers, the route approaches the foothills of the mountains, where it begins to ascend gradually.

Half marathon runners take a right turn for a nice relatively flat loop on gravel road around picturesque ranches and past the village of Cárdenas, which leads them to the finish line. 

Marathon runners keep ascending the mountain towards the village of El Naranjo, but just before reaching the village the route breaks of from the gravel road and ventures onto narrow trails leading further into the mountains and the lush jungle.

The river Chacamax is crossed a couple of times and some very intense hills must be climbed.

After roughly 10 kilometers on mountain and jungle trails, the route takes the runners into the village of El Naranjo. From here on, the path is more or less downhill leading to the intersection where the half marathon runners previously branched off.

Marathon runners will now also run the loop around the green and lush ranches to finish in the same place as the half marathon runners. 

This event will be held on Saturday 22nd February 2025.

The marathon is a long-distance running event with an official distance of 42.195 kilometres (26.21875 miles, or 26 miles and 385 yards), usually run as a road race. The event was instituted in commemoration of the fabled run of the Greek soldier Pheidippides, a messenger from the Battle of Marathon to Athens.
The marathon was one of the original modern Olympic events in 1896, though the distance did not become standardized until 1921. More than 500 marathons are held throughout the world each year, with the vast majority of competitors being recreational athletes as larger marathons can have tens of thousands of participants.

Road running have grown exponentially over the years, and many people are seeking to run races around the world, beyond their home events. Many countries have their own marquee events and these races are open to runners around the world. The Association of International Marathons and Distance Races (AIMS), has a comprehensive list of running events in their calendar (http://aimsworldrunning.org/Calendar.htm). Going for these marathon races is a great way to travel and see the world, and at the same time, get to know like-minded souls with similar interests, and possibly make new friends. It is indeed a great way to discover life and connect with people around the world.
