The Maratona do Funchal takes place in Funchal, the capital of the Portuguese island of Madeira, and this listing places the next edition on 31 January 2027. A marathon and a half marathon are staged on the same day, and the event is described as a flat, closed-road circuit with city, seaside and scenic sections rather than a trail course. The organiser is the Madeira Athletics Association, whose contact address is the Estádio de Câmara de Lobos in Câmara de Lobos.

Other questions
Madeira is reached by air or by sea. Cristiano Ronaldo Madeira International Airport (FNC) lies roughly 20 km east of Funchal and connects to the capital by bus, taxi or hire car. Arrivals by ferry dock in the port of Funchal itself.
Late January on Madeira is mild, with daytime highs usually between 16 and 20 degrees. Rain and wind are possible, and the higher parts of the course can feel noticeably cooler and damper, so a light rain jacket is worth packing.
No. The event is classified as a demanding landscape run. The profile is rolling to hilly and the route is not a flat city circuit.
The route runs through Funchal and the surrounding landscape, so spectators can position themselves at the start, the finish and along the city sections. The hillier parts of the course are reachable by car for anyone following a runner.
