Running, Beach, And Adrenaline: Rosarito Puerto Nuevo Half Marathon 2025

Rosarito, Baja California — The countdown is on. On Sunday, November 16, 2025, at 7:00 a.m., Rosarito will awaken to one of its most energetic mornings yet: the third edition of the Rosarito Puerto Nuevo Half Marathon, an event that blends the passion of running with the beauty of Baja California’s coastline and the culinary tradition of Puerto Nuevo.

This half marathon has quickly become one of the most important athletic and tourist events in northwestern Mexico, attracting runners from around the world and positioning Rosarito as a key sports, cultural, and gastronomic destination.

From Rosarito to Puerto Nuevo: Endurance Meets Scenic Beauty

The World Athletics–certified route (MEX 2024-119) offers a 21.0975-kilometer challenge that begins on Boulevard Benito Juárez, in front of the Ernesto Ruffo Appel Municipal Auditorium, and ends at the iconic Puerto Nuevo Baja Hotel & Villas, a destination renowned for its hospitality and seaside cuisine.

The course tests physical endurance while surrounding runners with breathtaking landscapes — the Pacific Ocean breeze, the contrast between urban energy and coastal calm, and the cheers of spectators who make each kilometer an unforgettable experience.

With a time limit of 3 hours and 45 minutes, participants must rely on strategy, discipline, and determination. Crossing the finish line is more than a sporting achievement — it’s a cultural experience, rewarded with a gourmet brunch crafted specially for the runners, celebrating victory with the flavors of Puerto Nuevo.

A Phenomenon That Keeps Growing

Runners from Mexico, the United States, Colombia, Spain, Guatemala, and Poland have already confirmed participation. For the 2025 edition, organizers expect over 3,000 runners and 5,000 attendees, reinforcing its binational appeal thanks to its proximity to the U.S. border.
