Iris Regalado · 2006

Marathon

Iris valued cheering spectators, friendly conversations with other runners and strong family and club support. The exposed late miles became intensely hot, but she reached the stadium delighted to finish her first full marathon. Personal roadside drinks and encouragement helped her through.

A historical full-marathon account dated to 2006 by its progression from November 2005 to the following August 6. The writer belonged to the organizing Club Corredores del Istmo, and relatives provided extensive personal support. The former stadium route and timing differ from today; this is the longstanding International Marathon, not the separate Panama City Marathon operation.

Wolfgang Bernath · 2024

Marathon

Wolfgang found the flat course fairly monotonous but liked its coastal sections, plentiful aid and easy start-area logistics. Rain left puddles and interrupted the run. Support was sparse on course but strong at the finish, and he felt the race worked well as part of a short Cyprus visit.

His attendance, exact walked sections, visit year and affiliation are unverified.

Older trail descriptions give 1.2 miles, while the retained 2023 map legend gives 1.0 mile, and historical layout may differ. This is one source reused for two listings.

DEO · 2025

Marathon

The writer found Halong Bay’s panoramic scenery refreshing after years focused on trails and considered the road route relatively flat. Physical trouble made the final 15 km difficult, but the views helped and they came away pleased with the overseas running experience.

Jessica and Kevin, interviewed by Rise and Run · 2025

Marathon

Jessica found the full marathon lonely after the half-marathon runners split away and disliked the uneven roads and potholes. Kevin felt anxious about the time limit, but remembered his police escort’s finish-line music fondly. Staff kept the arch, some food and his medal available for his late finish.

Two runners’ full-marathon recollections from 2025, read in the podcast’s published transcript. The show is sponsored and uses affiliate links; the guests are members of its listener community. Their experiences differ by pace, and Jessica’s late-race difficulties were personal. For 2026, the organizer announces route changes, so the road and finish observations may not apply unchanged. Kevin’s late finish does not establish a flexible cutoff policy.
