Formentera is preparing for one of the most anticipated sporting events of the year: the XVII 1/2 Marató Formentera.
A weekend where sport, nature and good atmosphere come together in this Mediterranean paradise. If you already have your bib... Now all you have to do is choose the perfect place to stay. And this is where Can Chumbera comes into play.
What to see and do during your stay in Formentera
Coming to run the half marathon is the perfect excuse to discover (or rediscover) the island in your stride. Because Formentera is not just a goal and a stopwatch: it is turquoise sea, white sand and sunsets that will be etched forever.
Between training sessions, you can visit iconic beaches such as Platja de Ses Illetes, get lost in the streets of Sant Ferran de Ses Roques or enjoy the seafaring atmosphere in the port of La Savina.
If you fancy nature in its purest form, the La Mola Lighthouse will give you spectacular views of the Mediterranean. And after the effort, there is nothing like celebrating with the rich local gastronomy in one of the island's traditional restaurants.
Formentera has that special magic that combines disconnection and energy. You can come and compete... or stay a few more days to enjoy it as it deserves.
XVII 1/2 Formentera Marathon: a unique experience of sport and paradise
On May 16, the island will be filled with runners from different parts of Spain and Europe, creating a vibrant, sporty and very special atmosphere.
The XVII 1/2 Marató Formentera and the 8KM Sant Ferran–La Savina are much more than a race. It is the opportunity to travel the island from end to end practicing your favorite sport in an absolutely privileged environment
The half marathon (21.1 km) starts at the spectacular cliff of Faro de la Mola and crosses emblematic places such as Pilar de la Mola, Es Caló de Sant Agustí, Sant Ferran de Ses Roques and Es Pujols before crossing the finish line at the port of La Savina
For those who prefer a shorter distance, the 8 km race offers a flat and very comfortable route from Sant Ferran to La Savina, ideal for enjoying the atmosphere without giving up the experience
In addition, it is a 'plastic free' race, a reflection of Formentera's commitment to protecting the environment
Here you run, yes... but the paradise that welcomes us is also respected and cared for.
Can Chumbera: your perfect retreat in Formentera
After the race, what you want most is to rest, disconnect and feel at home. And that's exactly what you'll find at Can Chumbera.
