The Macao International Marathon usually takes place on the first Sunday of each December and attracts hundreds of international runners annually. Over the years, the marathon has become one of the top tourism draws to the country, helping to strengthen relations with other countries. Everyone is welcome to register for the marathon, as the organisers have increased the racer quotas to 12,000 over the past few years.
The route takes runners through some of the country’s most historic destinations and heritage sites. The roads are generally flat and have relatively easy routes, making them suitable for those just starting their running journey.
Marathon winners from previous years have hailed from all over the globe, including China, Kenya, Ethiopia, Ukraine, Korea, Portugal, Italy, and many others. Race categories are divided into male and female, marathon and half-marathon. The mini marathon is also open to schools, sports associations, the public and private entities.
The Macao International Marathon is a bucket list race open to anyone wanting a fantastic time.
