The Media Maratón Melilla Ciudad del Deporte is a race day in Melilla centered on a half marathon, with 10K, 5K, and mini-race options held concurrently. It begins on a Sunday morning and is organized by the General Directorate of Sports Policy, positioning it as a city sports event rather than a private competition.
The half marathon and 10K distances are homologated by the Royal Spanish Athletics Federation and are listed on the RFEA official calendar, important for runners seeking officially measured results. The half marathon and 10K are for adults, the 5K is open to runners aged 16 and up, and the mini race accommodates younger participants within the same event.
