Race-cation is a Gen Z trend: TUI Palma Marathon Mallorca 2025 sold out | TUI Group

  • One of the island’s most important events: tens of thousands of guests and 8,500 runners expected on 19 October
  • More colourful than ever: participants travel from over 70 countries, with a record 46% of women taking part
  • More running events on offer: the TUI Cyprus Marathon and the TUI Rhodes Marathon will take place in early 2026.

Hannover, 19 August, Sun! Fun! Run! The TUI Palma Marathon Mallorca is sold out – exactly two months before the start on 19 October. All 8,500 starting places for the three distances (10 km, half marathon and marathon) are gone. A total of over twenty thousand spectators are expected along the route around the island’s capital.

For the first time in the history of the marathon – which was founded by TUI over 20 years ago – all distances are fully booked well in advance of race day. The 1,500 starting places for the marathon were the first to go, followed by 4,700 participants in the half marathon and 2,300 runners in the 10-kilometre race.

The participant profile has also changed: for the first time, the largest age group is Generation Z – 25–29 years old – a significant shift from the previous average of 40–45 years. The TUI Palma Marathon Mallorca also remains the leader in terms of female participation: almost every second participant is female, and in the 10-kilometre run, the figure is as high as 54%. The majority of participants travel from over 70 countries around the world. Most participants come from Germany (39%), followed by the United Kingdom (21%). In addition, around 1,000 TUI colleagues from all over the world are expected in Palma to celebrate the famous red smile together.

For its 21st anniversary, the TUI Palma Marathon Mallorca is not only the largest running event in the Balearic Islands, but also a celebration for the whole city. Runners, groups of friends and families enjoy Palma at its best – with culture, history and a lively atmosphere that extends far beyond the finish line. The TUI Palma Marathon Mallorca has long been considered one of the most iconic marathons in the world by running experts.

The TUI Palma Marathon Mallorca is being organised in its 21st year by Kumulus, with TUI as title sponsor and founder of the marathon. The event is supported by the Palma government, the Balearic Government’s Sustainable Tourism Tax Fund, the Fundació Mallorca Turisme and partners such as Proa Group, Zafiro Hotels, 361º, Fornes Logistics and Ports de Balears.
