On April 23rd, we´ll live again one of the most exciting competitions in Madrid: the  Zurich Rock ´N´ Roll Running Series Madrid. It has also been awarded as one of the best marathons on the planet! Are you in? We are!

Madrid´s Marathon, which has had 45 editions so far, is a true celebration of sports, both for amateur runners and professionals who enjoy beating the clock in the streets of the capital. That's why many participants repeat year after year to be captivated by this iconic competition.

This edition, according to the organization, will have a participation of 39,000 runners, distributed between the three distances: 10K, half marathon and the full marathon of 42 kilometres. In addition, given the worldwide fame that EDP Rock 'n' Roll Madrid has acquired, many foreigner runners will join (around 10,000) from 110 different countries to discover the capital one step at a time.
