The Maratón de Montevideo is the Uruguayan capital's marathon, organised by the Intendencia de Montevideo and held on a Sunday in May, which is autumn in Uruguay. It offers a marathon, a half marathon and a 10K, all starting at 7:00 on Avenida 18 de Julio, in front of the Intendencia, which is also the finish. The 42K takes in a large part of the city, including Avenida Agraciada, Avenida Luis Alberto de Herrera and the Rambla along its whole length. The race is certified by World Athletics and counts as a Boston Marathon qualifier. The first Maratón de Montevideo was held in May 2014 and won by Cuba's Agelmis Rojas in 2:19:33. The 2026 race on 10 May was the 11th edition and had more than 8,000 participants over the three distances.
