JOIN THE WORLD’S LARGEST RUNNING CIRCUIT

Rock & Run the streets of Madrid

Madrid’s biggest running event isn’t just a marathon—it’s a high-octane celebration of sport, music, and the city’s electric energy. Recognized as a Gold Label Race by the International Athletics Federation—placing it among the world’s most prestigious marathons alongside New York, London, and Berlin—it’s also part of the legendary Rock ‘n’ Roll Marathon Series, the world’s largest running circuit. This means one thing: live rock music fueling runners every step of the way. In 2024, the event made history with 40,000 runners from 113 countries hitting the streets, setting a new record. The 2025 edition is set for April 27, where thousands more will chase their personal bests—and the ultimate runner’s high.

But this isn’t just a race. It’s a tour through Madrid’s most iconic sights, set to an unforgettable soundtrack. The route kicks off on Paseo de la Castellana, taking runners past the legendary Santiago Bernabéu Stadium, the soaring Cuatro Torres, and the heart of the city at Puerta del Sol. From the grandeur of the Royal Palace to the green escape of Casa de Campo and the artistic treasures of the Prado Museum, every mile is a front-row seat to Madrid’s culture, history, and soul. And with nearly 20 rock bands performing along the course, every stride is powered by pure adrenaline.

The real magic? The crowd. Madrid’s passion for sports and music makes for an atmosphere unlike any other. Whether you're running, cheering, or just soaking in the scene, the energy is infectious. And when the finish line at Paseo de Recoletos comes into view, it’s more than just the end of a race—it’s the climax of an epic experience. Lace up, turn up the volume, and get ready to run Madrid like never before.
