SUMMARY:KLM Curaçao Marathon
DESCRIPTION:The KLM Curaçao Marathon is a premier Caribbean road race in Willemstad\, featuring a course that crosses the iconic Queen Emma and Queen Juliana bridges. \nCourse Highlights\nThe KLM Curaçao Marathon offers a truly unique racing experience through the colorful and historic streets of Willemstad. The course is renowned for its architectural beauty and challenging elevation\, taking runners across two iconic bridges that define the island’s skyline. Participants will cross the “Swinging Old Lady\,” the famous Queen Emma pontoon bridge\, which floats on the waters of St. Anna Bay. A major highlight of the full and half marathon distances is the ascent of the Queen Juliana Bridge. Rising 185 feet (56 meters) above sea level\, it is one of the highest bridges in the world\, providing breathtaking panoramic views of the Caribbean Sea and the UNESCO World Heritage-listed historic center of Punda and Otrobanda. The route winds along the waterfront\, offering a refreshing ocean breeze and a vibrant backdrop of pastel-colored colonial buildings. \nRace Details\nThe 13th edition of the KLM Curaçao Marathon is scheduled for the weekend of November 28th and 29th\, 2026. To beat the tropical heat\, the main events start in the early hours of Sunday morning. The Full Marathon kicks off at 03:15 AM\, followed by the Half Marathon at 05:15 AM and the 10K at 06:00 AM. For those preferring an evening run\, the 5K distance takes place on Saturday afternoon at 05:30 PM. The start and finish area is located at the Corendon Mangrove Beach Resort in Willemstad. The marathon course consists of two laps of the half marathon route\, which is AIMS/World Athletics certified. Runners are supported by 16 water stations along the marathon route\, with specific stations also providing isotonic drinks and bananas to keep participants fueled. A strict 6-hour time limit is enforced for the full marathon to ensure the safety of all participants as the sun rises. \nWhy Runners Love It\nRunners from all over the world are drawn to the KLM Curaçao Marathon for its perfect blend of a professional sporting event and a tropical “runcation.” The race is celebrated for its festive atmosphere\, which begins with a Pasta Party on the beach and culminates in a vibrant finish-line celebration at the resort’s beach area. The early start time allows athletes to witness a spectacular Caribbean sunrise while crossing the high bridge\, a moment many describe as the highlight of their racing career. Beyond the race\, participants enjoy the hospitality of Curaçao\, with its stunning beaches\, crystal-clear waters\, and rich cultural heritage.
