About this race
Held on Portugal's Atlantic island of Madeira, the Funchal Marathon has been a January fixture since 2015. Its flat, multi-lap circuit hugs the city's seafront along Avenida do Mar and Avenida do Infante before threading Funchal's historic downtown, run under Madeira's mild subtropical winter (January highs near 20C). Organised by the Madeira Athletics Association, the island's biggest running event offers a marathon, half marathon and 8km mini race, with the half the most popular.
