ORANJESTAD — The 2nd edition of the KLM Aruba Marathon, Half Marathon, 10K and 5K will be held on the 2nd of June 2019. The Race is AIMS/ IAAF certified and this road race is organized on the highest International level. This time the race is organized with a green focus as all cups at the water stations are 100% sustainable, biodegradable and renewable. There will be bins located at and after each water station.
