Get ready, Ibiza Families! This Saturday, April 12, the island will be buzzing with energy as the Santa Eulària Ibiza Marathon takes over our roads, towns, and hearts! Whether you’ve got a runner in the family, a little one who loves to cheer, or you’re just up for some fresh air and good vibes — this event is one of those feel-good island moments you don’t want to miss.
And yes let’s start right here: there's a special run for the kids! 🎉
👧 Kids Run by Caixabank – Because Little Legs Love to Run Too!
Start the day with the Santa Eulària Kids Run, a cheerful, non-competitive event where children of all ages (even toddlers!) can enjoy the thrill of the race.
🕙 Starts at 10:00 AM
📍 Marina Santa Eulària des Riu
Distances range from 250m for the tiniest ones to 1.5K for the bigger kids, and every child gets a bib, refreshments, and happy applause at the finish line. Parents, don’t forget to pick up bibs at the Runner’s Fair the day before. It’s free, fun, and always full of smiles!
🏁 Main Races – What’s Happening & Where to Go
After the kids warm things up, it's the grown-ups' turn to shine!

💚 Running for a Cause
This year's event supports APNEEF, Ibiza and Formentera’s association for children with special needs — another reason to clap even louder 💜
🎉 #RunAndFeel Afterparty
For those with a bib (sorry kiddos, this one’s for grown-ups), there’ll be a party at Las Dalias and Teatro Pereyra later in the evening — Ibiza style!
So, grab your mini marathoners, your loudest clapping hands, and let’s make this a family memory to remember! More info at the official website: www.ibizamarathon.com
