Media Maratón Internacional Santa Cruz de Tenerife 2026: follow live and where to cheer

The 12th Media Maratón Internacional Santa Cruz de Tenerife is on Sunday 15 November 2026. It starts and finishes in the centre of Santa Cruz, and most of the course runs along the coast. Here's how to follow your runner, from the seafront or from home.

The race at a glance

Follow live

Runners carry a timing chip, and the results link on the race website points to toptime.live, where last year's results are. The site doesn't mention live tracking during the race.

To see where your runner is mid-race, the runner can share GPS from their phone with Cheerlify. You see a dot on the course map, their current pace and an estimate of when they'll reach the finish, in any browser, with just a link and a code. You can also record voice or video cheers that play in their earbuds at the kilometre you choose. Why the two work best together: chip timing vs GPS.

The course

It's a low course, between about 6 and 56 m. From the centre it heads north-east along the coast past Valleseco and the port, turns around km 7.5 and comes back the same way. Back in town it loops south along the seafront, then climbs through the centre past the park on Calle Méndez Núñez around km 18 to the finish.

Where to cheer, and when to send a cheer

• Start and finish: they're in the same place, so you can watch the start and stay for the finish.
• Calle Méndez Núñez, around km 18: in the centre, about 3 km from the end.
• Cheer: the coast road out past the port is hard for supporters to reach. Pin a cheer at km 8, just after the turn, when they head back to town.

1. Bib picked up on Friday 13 November (15:00–21:00) or Saturday 14 November (10:00–21:00) at the Nivaria Center. There's no pickup on race day.
