Córdoba Marathon

Course & Elevation

The Maratón Ciudad de Córdoba, also run as the NB 42K Córdoba, is the city's marathon, held on the first Sunday of July around the anniversary of the city's founding. The municipality of Córdoba backs it, and the current series started in 2021, with editions in 2021, 2022, 2025 and 2026. The start and finish are inside the Polo Deportivo Kempes, on the inner road between the south car park and the Faculty of Physical Education. The 42K starts at 8:00 and the course follows the Costanera of the Río Suquía as its main axis, passing Urca, San Vicente, the city centre, Nueva Córdoba and the Parque Sarmiento. A half marathon, a 10K and a 5K run on the same morning, and runners with disabilities have their own categories. The organisers say the distances were measured and certified by members of AIMS and are endorsed by World Athletics. More than 6,000 runners took part across all distances in 2026, about 20 percent more entries than in 2025. Entry for the 42K in 2026 was ARS 67,600, and the winners of the 42K received cash prizes.
