The Maratón de Santiago sends runners through the streets of Chile's capital on a single loop of closed road that starts and finishes on Avenida Alameda Libertador Bernardo O'Higgins in the centre of the city, with the Andes on the skyline. Three distances run on the same race day: a 10K, a half marathon and a full marathon. The event is the country's largest sporting occasion, is certified by World Athletics and recognised by AIMS, and is run as a carbon-neutral race. Pacers, drink and nutrition stations, medical assistance and a finish-line area in the heart of Santiago make up the race day, while bib collection and the Running Expo take place at the Estación Mapocho Cultural Center in the days before. The organisers frame the day around the motto "Together, we connect the city", with a strong social responsibility and environmental focus.

Other questions
One distance change is allowed free of charge until 16 April 2027, subject to places being available in the destination distance. If the new distance costs more, the runner pays the difference at the rate in force at the time of the change. If it costs less, the difference is not refunded.
Drink stations and nutrition stations are set out along the routes, backed by medical assistance and accident insurance for entrants. Pacers run with the field to help runners hold a target pace.
Yes. Bag drop information is provided in the runner materials, and toilets are available at the event.
Mid May falls in the Chilean autumn. Santiago days at that time of year are generally mild and dry, with cooler mornings, so a light layer to wear before the start and to discard at the line is useful.
The organisers state that the marathon is run as a carbon-neutral event as part of a wider programme of social responsibility and environmental commitment, and the event has built a reputation for that work.
