Cartagena Half-Marathon

This one was born from a true love story.
Stéphane just ran this race, looking for an exotic destination on the Caribbean coast that would echo his years living in Guadeloupe.
JB, on his side, still holds an incredible memory of his time in Cartagena 15 years ago.
We absolutely had to take you there.

Beyond the beauty of this fortified city, this is the ultimate antidote to Quebec's winter slump.
Instead of fleeing winter at a classic all-inclusive, we're offering you an active "sun destination".
It's a golden chance to break the long winter pause, kick off your season as early as February (no need to wait for spring!) and run along the Caribbean Sea.

À qui s’adresse cette course ?

The winter escapees:
For every Quebecer ready to swap snow and ice grips for sunshine and hot asphalt in the middle of February.

The impatient ones:
For those who refuse to wait until April or May to pin on a bib, and want to keep the momentum from last season rolling.

The explorers:
For runners chasing a race with character — the kind who don't mind sweating it out under a tropical sky.

✨ OPTIONAL (to extend the adventure):
After the race: a soothing yoga retreat for optimal recovery under the Colombian sun.
Planning a ""sun destination"" mid-February takes anticipation, especially to lock in the best fares on direct flights from Montreal.
Spots for this tropical escape will be limited — book your getaway as soon as sales open to secure your dose of sunshine!

L'expérience The Run Away

Running in Cartagena is a unique sensory experience.
The hot, humid tropical climate calls for some real adaptation, but the atmosphere is electric.
The race kicks off very early in the morning from the city's iconic port, to take advantage of the cooler air and watch the sun rise over the Caribbean.
On the logistics side, we kept it simple. Your bib is guaranteed and included in the package.
The local organisation handles shuttles to the start beautifully, and we take care of your transfers from the airport.
Your only mission: stay on top of your hydration and soak in the postcard scenery!
