Mérida Marathon
Race Day Weather
Warm start, adjust for humidity
Runners will face temperatures starting at 66°F and rising to 74°F by the finish, with an average humidity of 76%. Light winds from the east may become a factor during the first few miles, particularly with headwinds through miles 2, 5-7, 10, and 21. With the warmth and humidity, pacing should be conservative early on to maintain energy for later stretches, especially during headwind sections.

Race Info
The Mérida Marathon is an annual road race in Mérida, Yucatán, Mexico, held each January as part of the city's founding-anniversary celebrations. The course starts and finishes at the Monumento a la Patria on Paseo de Montejo and continues through Mérida's Centro Histórico. First run in 1986 and originally sponsored by a local paint company, the race has carried several title-sponsor names over the decades and is a Boston Marathon qualifier. Race weekend also includes a half marathon, 10K, and 3K walk starting from the same monument, drawing roughly 6,000 finishers across all distances in the 2026 edition.
