Mexico City 5K

The Mexico City 5K delivers Aztec heritage at challenging altitude in a more accessible format. Runners navigate through North America's oldest capital at 2,240 meters elevation. November's dry season creates ideal racing conditions as participants experience both Spanish colonial grandeur and pre-Columbian reminders. The moderately challenging course features altitude challenge while providing continuous cultural interest yet remaining achievable within the shorter distance. Mexican spectators create an atmosphere of festive support as participants flow through streets representing Latin America's cultural powerhouse. This significant race captures Mexico City's distinctive character—historically layered yet vibrantly modern—offering a quintessential Latin American running experience without requiring elite altitude endurance.
