The Guadalajara Marathon[b] (also known as the Guadalajara International Marathon[c] or Maratón GDL[3] ) is an annual road-based marathon hosted by Guadalajara, Mexico, since 1984.[3] [4] [1] [5] [a] The marathon is a World Athletics Elite Label Road Race and a member of the Association of International Marathons and Distance Races.[2] [6]
The event is organized by the Guadalajara Municipal Sports Council, which also organizes the Guadalajara Half Marathon, a separate half marathon event held in February.[4]
History
[edit ]The inaugural race was held on 26 February 1984 as a half marathon.[1] It was won by Mexican runner Audón Hernández with a finish time of 1:06:16.[1] [5]
The second edition, held on 10 February 1985, was the first to feature a race with the standard marathon distance of 42.195 km (26.2 mi).[1] [5] The marathon was won by Mexican runners Eduardo Blake and Esmeralda Gutiérrez, with finish times of 2:22:22 and 3:00:59, respectively.[1] [5]
The event was not held in 2011 due to the 2011 Pan American Games being held in the city that October.[1] [7]
The 2020 edition of the race was cancelled due to the coronavirus pandemic.[8] [9]
