The completed Medellín edition has separate maps for each distance
The organizer’s interactive route page and GPX downloads can help you study the older full-marathon course. Choose the 42K file and compare its elevation profile with your preparation. The presence of a downloadable 2026 route does not establish the route or road closures for a future edition.
The website links a runner guide, general information, regulations and EXPORUNNERS kit collection. These documents belong to the completed festival unless explicitly updated. Check a new edition’s collection venue and schedule before booking travel, especially if arriving only shortly before race morning.
The official application offers tracking, results and finish video, while the registration validator confirms an existing entry. Neither is a new-edition ticket sale by itself. Use a current registration announcement and check the exact distance and event year before paying or treating a confirmation as a place in the next marathon.
Medellín’s route and city travel require their own planning rather than assumptions from another Colombian marathon. Once the next 42K map appears, identify the start, finish, transport access and aid sequence together. Use the organizer’s updated local guide and current forecast for final decisions, while keeping older tourism and race materials clearly separate.
2027 date status
The exact next-edition date is awaiting confirmation. A previous race month does not establish a future event. Wait for an organizer announcement that names this race and distance before calculating a taper or booking race-specific travel.
Current race identity
These details identify the race. Previous-edition start, route and transport information must be checked against the next participant guide. The elapsed race date is removed until the organizer publishes an exact future date.
Training calendar anchors
Calendar arithmetic does not prove that a runway is appropriate. Choose the opening week only after it matches recent consistency and recovery.
Use the training start-date calculator, compare the marathon training hub, and use the printable plan overview only as a planning map. Do not compress missed weeks to force a date.
What the organizer still needs to confirm
Recheck the represented distance, registration, venue, start waves, course, cutoff, aid, equipment, cancellation terms and participant guide. Use the race-week forecast rather than historical averages.
Prepare without pretending certainty
The useful work now is training you can repeat. Start training with 26weeks after choosing a real finish line and a runway that fits current readiness.
When saving the Medellín map, choose the 42K file and mark its aid and toilet locations. A shorter-distance file can share the event branding while omitting much of the marathon route. Recheck the edition before using the file for a new race.
