Iris Regalado · 2006

Marathon

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.
