The fourth edition of the "Cozumel Microbiot Fit Half Marathon" is set to take place on May 3rd, 2025. Over 2,500 participants are expected to join the event, which aims to foster a love for marathon running among the local community and attract athletes from both national and international backgrounds. The event will feature races of 5 kilometers, 10 kilometers, and a half marathon of 21 kilometers. The island of Cozumel is known for hosting this event for four consecutive years, attracting athletes from across the globe.
The Cozumel Microbiot Fit Half Marathon was the first mass event on the island following the pandemic. It served as a catalyst for reviving tourism and has since continued to thrive, now in its fourth year. The event is designed to be family-friendly and has been highly praised due to the island's unique landscapes.
The event schedule begins with the half marathon at 5:30 in the morning, followed by the 10K race at 6:30, and the 5K race at 7:00. In this year's edition, it is expected that 60 percent of the participants will be running the half marathon. While there are fewer international competitors, the event still attracts a significant number of visitors. National tourism, in particular, is a major draw for the island, with estimates suggesting that over 70 percent of the athletes participating in the "Cozumel Microbiot Fit Half Marathon 2025" will be from within the country.
