The U.S. Polo Assn. Palm Beaches Marathon Celebrates Record-Breaking Weekend in West Palm Beach, Florida

Thousands of Runners From Around the World Participate in South Florida Race Weekend, With Ivan Gabriel Mafla Bolanos of Ecuador Finishing First Overall

Text size:

WEST PALM BEACH, FLA. / ACCESS Newswire / December 16, 2025 / U.S. Polo Assn., the official sports brand of the United States Polo Association (USPA), proudly celebrated an unforgettable race weekend as first-time Title Sponsor of the 2025 U.S. Polo Assn. Palm Beaches Marathon.

The race weekend brought extraordinary energy to Downtown West Palm Beach, powered by more than 6,100 participants, representing 29 countries and 46 states. The race, a Boston Marathon qualifier, was supported by more than 200 dedicated volunteers, including employees from USPA Global, the company that manages the global, multi-billion-dollar U.S. Polo Assn. brand. The U.S. Polo Assn. Palm Beaches Marathon was broadcast live for five hours by the Official Broadcast Station, WPBF 25 (ABC, West Palm Beach).

The U.S. Polo Assn. Palm Beaches Marathon was won by Ivan Gabriel Mafla Bolanos (02:37:56) in just over two-and-a-half hours, who traveled to South Florida over 15 hours from Ecuador to compete. Teresita Granados Solis (03:06:55), visiting from Costa Rica, was the first woman to cross the marathon finish line, chalking up her third career marathon win and her second of 2025.

Throughout the 2025 U.S. Polo Assn. Palm Beaches Marathon weekend, runners took to the waterfront course for the 5K, 10K, Half Marathon, Marathon, and Marathon Relay, each receiving a commemorative U.S. Polo Assn. performance race shirt and finishing medal inspired by the vibrant colors of The Palm Beaches. The first 135 marathon finishers also earned a special U.S. Polo Assn. Palm Beaches Marathon runners cap, celebrating the United States Polo Association's milestone 135th Anniversary.

Adding to the festive and athlete-centric atmosphere, U.S. Polo Assn. hosted an interactive polo ball activation next to the race expo stage for the weekend, offering guests of all ages the opportunity to take photos with models and engage with the brand's heritage in a fun, dynamic environment.

"The U.S. Polo Assn. Palm Beaches Marathon race weekend reflected everything we value as a global sport and lifestyle brand with community, sport, philanthropy, and teamwork," said J. Michael Prince, President and CEO of USPA Global/U.S. Polo Assn. "Seeing thousands of runners cross the finish line, connect with our brand, and enjoy our polo-inspired activation was truly inspiring."

"U.S. Polo Assn. is proud to support a sporting event like the Palm Beaches Marathon that showcases the spirit and strength of Palm Beach County, a place we are fortunate to call home, and where people come from around the world to visit and participate," he added.

Participants of the U.S. Polo Assn. Palm Beaches Marathon once again rallied behind meaningful causes, collectively fundraising for Palm Beach Roadrunners, Special Olympics Florida, and Quantum House, three organizations making a transformative impact across Palm Beach County.

"U.S. Polo Assn. has been an outstanding partner for the Palm Beaches Marathon, elevating every aspect of this year's marathon from the athlete experience to community engagement," said Kenneth R. Kennerly, CEO of K2 Sports Ventures, which owns and manages The Palm Beaches Marathon. "Their commitment to Palm Beach County and passion for sport and fitness made 2025 a standout year for runners, walkers, and spectators alike."
