Iván Zarco Alvarez (born 8 February 1984)[1] is a Honduran long-distance runner. In 2020, he competed in the men's race at the 2020 World Athletics Half Marathon Championships held in Gdynia, Poland.[2] In the 2020 Tokyo Olympic Games he represented Honduras in the marathon, and finished in 76th place, the last of all competitors who reached the finish line.[3][4]
He represented Spain until the end of 2019 and, as of 1 January 2020, he represents Honduras in international competitions.[1][5] In 2020, at the World Athletics Half Marathon Championships in Gdynia he set a Honduran national record in half-marathon, finishing the race at 1:04.08.[6][7] Zarco made headlines in March 2021, when he was scheduled to run a marathon in Dresden but instead gave his number to the former compatriot Camilo Santiago who ran as Zarco and finished in 2:17.46, which would have been a new record of Honduras. Santiago was swiftly discovered and disqualified for two years;[8] the sanction was annulled in August 2021 by the Administrative Court.[9] Zarco was not sanctioned initially, since no obvious motive was discovered in his actions.[10] In 2023, both were suspended for six months.[11]
