When your legs give out and oxygen runs low in a marathon, there is no better boost than taking in the beauty of the surroundings and absorbing the breath of an enthusiastic crowd. This is the winning combination of the Zurich Seville Marathon: a one-of-a-kind race that allows athletes to complete a route filled with historic landmarks, powered by fans who embrace sports in all its forms and convey the unmistakable warmth of the city of Seville.
Plaza de España: a movie-like start
The start of the Zurich Seville Marathon rivals the Majors head‑to‑head. The Plaza de España in the Andalusian capital captivates anyone who looks up, even George Lucas, director of Star Wars: Episode II – Attack of the Clones, who chose this architectural setting to film one of the scenes of the movie. Before the starting gun, its famous tile benches offer the perfect refuge to calm your nerves and let the history of the place inspire you to turn your own challenge into reality.
Living history on the banks of the Guadalquivir
Shortly after the first 5 kilometers, the asphalt becomes a privileged viewpoint. On your right flows the Guadalquivir, powerful and steady; on your left, the iconic Maestranza square. But it is when you catch sight of the Torre del Oro that the runner remembers the historical significance of the place where they are competing. This ancient tower not only served as a riverside defense, but also acts as a beacon lighting the way that leads runners toward the finish line.
A World Heritage finish
With 2,000 meters to go before conquering the 42.195 of the race, Seville offers its triple crown gem: the Cathedral, the Giralda and the General Archive of the Indies. Running through this monumental complex, declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site, is synonymous with receiving an endless surge of energy. It is in this setting where the philosophy of TotalEnergies is best understood: a constant and necessary boost to cross the finish line knowing you have given every last ounce of effort.
Each of the 42.195 kilometers that make up the route of the Zurich Seville Marathon holds the reason why Seville has a special charm. It doesn’t matter if you're aiming to break the world record in this discipline or if you're an amateur runner; save the date and get ready to experience one of the most captivating events you can find, supported by a crowd that will carry you along.
