The Empúries Marathon is a romantic marathon in a privileged and extremely beautiful environment such as Empúries, the gateway to Greek and Roman culture on the Iberian Peninsula.
Different circuits are proposed adapted to the abilities or preferences of each person, because not everyone can or wants to run a marathon. Thus, you can choose to participate in any of the three events offered: Marathon, Half Marathon or the 10km Race.
Surely in Empúries you will not find the fastest circuit in the world, but you will find one of the most attractive. Running, you will be able to enjoy unique and privileged places that will surely excite you, because they take place in the incomparable setting formed by the urban centers of L’Escala and Sant Martí d’Empúries.
You will be able to enjoy the coastline of the Bay of Roses, which has become part of the Club of the Most Beautiful Bays in the World. A distinction with the endorsement of UNESCO, which only thirty bays in the world currently have. Certainly, this distinction recognizes the tourist, landscape and cultural values of our environment.
The Empúries Marathon is usually scheduled for the first Sunday of May, and as is traditional, both the start and finish take place at the Museum of Archeology of Catalonia-Empúries. In fact, before taking the official start, all runners pass through the ancient Greek city of Empúries.
An anchovy tasting is also usually served for participants.
The Empúries Marathon is organized by the L’Escala Town hall Sports Dept. and has the support of the Catalan Athletics Federation.
