Half Marathon races near Argelès-sur-Mer

La Mitja de Figueres is a road race held in Figueres, Girona, in early December. It features a half marathon of 21.097 km and a 10K option. On the same day, La Menuda offers children's races of 400 m, 600 m, 800 m, and 1,200 m, divided by age group. The Associació Atlètica Mitja Marató Figueres organizes the event, which is listed on the Catalan Athletics Federation calendar. The adult races follow a city course in Figueres, providing timing, medical support, toilets, showers, a cloakroom, physiotherapy, and aid stations with both drinks and food. Occasionally, official course certification might be lost due to roadworks impacting sections of the route, leading to slight variations in listed distances from standard measurements. Participants receive a race bag, and trophies and cash prizes are awarded. A speaker at the finish line contributes to the local race atmosphere.

The Mitja Badia Roses is a running event held in the Bay of Roses, situated between the sea and nearby mountains. The primary event is a 21 km half marathon, complemented by a 7.5 km Xmas race. The environment supports comfortable running with a 100% flat course, a mild climate, and a route offering unobstructed views across the bay. Participants begin at Av Rhode in the Zig Zag area, using the race to view the Bay of Roses from a runner's perspective, distinct from its typical beach or holiday setting. Registrations include a disposable bib and timing chip, in-race aid, accident insurance, and a commemorative gift. A portion of each entry fee, one euro, supports a charitable cause, integrating a small philanthropic aspect into the event.
