Medio Maratón de Santander

The Medio Maratón de Santander is a road race held on a Sunday in Santander, located on Spain’s north coast in Cantabria, typically scheduled for mid-October. The primary event is the half marathon, complemented by shorter races of approximately 5 to 6 km and occasionally 10 km, along with events for children and junior participants. The course incorporates both city streets and the coastline, offering participants a race through Santander rather than a closed, stadium-like setting. The Palacio de la Magdalena is featured in the race’s branding, connecting it to one of the city’s most recognizable landmarks. The event accommodates a wide range of participants: half-marathon competitors, individuals opting for shorter, non-competitive distances, and younger runners all participate within the same race weekend.
