Valparaíso Half Marathon

Course & Elevation

The Media Maratón TPS Valparaíso is a road race on the waterfront of Valparaíso, Chile, held on a Sunday in September and organised by Prokart together with the container terminal operator Terminal Pacífico Sur (TPS). It has been run since 2007. Its signature is a stretch of about five kilometres inside the working port, between cranes and containers, followed by the coastal Avenida Errázuriz. The race is built around Plaza Sotomayor, where the finish is. The usual main distance is the 21 km half marathon, together with a 10K and a children's circuit. In the early editions the half marathon went through the port to the Barón junction, then west along Avenida Errázuriz to the Punta Ángeles lighthouse and back. In 2026 the main race was exceptionally cut to 17 km because of damage to some city streets from recent storms. The 10K and 17K started in the port, headed towards Caleta Portales and returned along Avenida Errázuriz to finish near Plaza Sotomayor. The 2026 courses were not certified, and more than 4,000 runners took part.
