Updated and verified Oct 14, 2026

The race at a glance

Route and elevation

The adidas RIMAC Lima 42K site currently describes the completed May 24, 2026 event and separates the 42K from the 21K. Its course introduction highlights Lima’s historic streets and malecón, but it does not establish an exact 2027 full-marathon date.

  • The visible countdown configuration belongs to May 24, 2026.
  • The organizer offers separate 42K and 21K route downloads.
  • The displayed sold-out status and prices belong to the older sales period.

Race guide

Lima’s full distance and coastal route need a new edition announcement

The official page’s 42K and 21K map downloads are separate. Use the full-distance map when considering the coastal sections and the route through the city. A half-marathon map cannot establish the marathon’s opening kilometres, aid sequence or final approach.

The site describes historic streets and the malecón as part of the event experience. Those features are useful early preparation context, but the final 2027 route, start entrance and collection arrangements still need an edition-specific announcement. Do not assume the next race starts at the same hour just because a completed countdown remains visible.

The page shows final-sale prices tied to a December 2025 sales period and a sold-out banner. Those do not establish either a current 2027 fee or current availability. Open a new-edition entry only through the organizer’s published channel, and check the distance, included services and cancellation terms before paying.

For a race trip, distinguish the location of the full-marathon start from the coastal sightseeing area and from the finish. Once a new course is released, plan transport for the actual road closures and walking access. Use the current forecast close to the event; a previous May race does not confirm the next month or its conditions.

Next edition awaiting confirmation

An exact next-edition date is not confirmed here. A previous race month does not establish a future event. Wait for the organizer’s announcement before setting a taper or booking race-specific travel. Check that the announcement names your distance: an event weekend, registration opening or shorter race can appear before the full programme. Save your entry confirmation separately from a provisional travel plan, and compare an announced alternative if you need a fixed date. Keep the route details below in their stated edition context until the new participant guide is available.
