Cursa de Sant Galderic

Cursa de Sant Galderic is a trail-running event held in Tavèrnoles, a small municipality within Barcelona province. It provides two off-road routes: a 21 km trail and an 11 km trail. Both are designated as non-competitive, emphasizing participation and completion over racing for rankings. The event is typically scheduled for early November, though the specific date is currently unconfirmed. The public listing offers limited course specifics, with most useful information pertaining to format and logistics. Participants can select either the longer 21 km trail or the shorter 11 km option. The event page features classifications and results, along with a link to the official website. The listing is available in multiple languages, including Catalan, Spanish, English, French, German, Dutch, Italian, Basque, Galician, and Portuguese, aiding international visitors in understanding the essential race details.

Montjuïc Tibidabo

Montjuïc Tibidabo is a Barcelona race with options from 10 kilometers up to a half marathon. The name points to two of the city’s high landmarks: Montjuïc, above the port side of Barcelona, and Tibidabo, the mountain at the edge of the Collserola range. The available distances make it more flexible than a single-format road race, with shorter runners and half-marathon runners sharing the same event setup. The Tibidabo side gives the race its most distinctive backdrop. The summit has an amusement park and the Temple Expiatori del Sagrat Cor, and it is linked to Plaça del Doctor Andreu by the Tibidabo Funicular, a 1,130-meter electric line that climbs 275 meters at gradients up to 25.7%. The funicular opened in 1901, later moved from wooden cars to metal trainsets, and now runs articulated vehicles carrying 252 people.

Marató i Mitja al Parc de Collserola

The Mitja Marató Parc de Collserola is a trail half marathon held in Barcelona’s Collserola park, with its start and finish at the Velòdrom d’Horta. It begins at 08:00 and covers the standard 21.097 km half-marathon distance. With 892 meters of elevation gain, it is more of a mountain run than a road half marathon. The race, organized by Unió Excursionista Catalunya d’Horta, is in its twenty-third edition. The course utilizes a significant portion of Parc de Collserola, featuring checkpoints at Can Borrell, Sant Medir, and Vista Rica. Runners navigate a path defined by forest tracks, ascents, and park landmarks, distinct from city streets.

Mitja Sant Cugat

The Mitja Sant Cugat is a long-standing half marathon held in Sant Cugat del Valles, near Barcelona. The primary event covers 21 km, with 10 km and 5 km races included in the same program. These shorter races are designated as non-competitive, ensuring the day accommodates participants not solely focused on achieving a half-marathon personal best. The course is noted in local race information as being exceptionally flat for the region, presenting a suitable option for consistent pacing or a runner's initial significant half marathon attempt. Club Muntanyenc Sant Cugat is the organizing body for this event. With considerable history, the race ranks among Catalonia's more established half marathons and holds a local standing as a competitive event of its kind.

Trail Torres del Foc

The Trail Torres del Foc begins in Calella at Pati de l'Os and concludes along the seafront on Passeig Manuel Puigvert. This competitive trail running event takes place in November, offering four distances: 12K, 21K, 42K, and 60K. Participants can select a short mountain run or an ultra-distance challenge. The routes traverse the Parc del Montnegre i Corredor, connecting the coast with the forested hills inland. The courses follow paths and trails within the park, with elevation gains for each distance: approximately 396 meters for the 12K, 992 meters for the 21K, 1,692 meters for the 42K, and 2,449 meters for the 60K. The event's name originates from the fire watchtowers located along the route, elevated points that continue to aid in forest protection. The 21K holds UTMB Index 20K status and recently saw about 145 finishers. The range of distances accommodates newer trail runners, club athletes, and those seeking a demanding mountain race.

Trail La Riera de Gaià

The Trail La Riera de Gaià is a mountain running event held in La Riera de Gaià, a town in the Tarragonès region of Tarragona, near the coast. The race utilizes local trails and paths, avoiding road loops, and offers formats for various skill levels, including a walking option alongside the running events. The shorter trail covers approximately 9 km with about 150 m of elevation gain and 130 m of descent, considered accessible unless run at a high intensity. Longer race distances have been available, with one option just under 20 km. The start and finish are located in the town center, with the local council organizing the event. The community atmosphere is a key aspect: families, walkers, casual trail runners, and competitive runners participate together. Finishers receive breakfast, with gluten-free choices provided for celiacs.

Mitja Marató Ciutat de Vilanova

The Mitja Marató Ciutat de Vilanova begins and ends at the Municipal Athletics Tracks in Vilanova i la Geltrú, a coastal city in the province of Barcelona. This December road race offers a certified 21.097 km half marathon and a 10K option, allowing participants to select the full half-marathon distance or a shorter city race included in the same event. The half marathon follows an asphalt urban route through Vilanova i la Geltrú’s main and most characteristic streets, featuring kilometer markers. The course includes approximately 90 meters of elevation gain and 90 meters of descent. Timing is managed with Champion Chip technology, and judges from the Catalan Athletics Federation will be present. This race has a history of at least 36 editions. Bib and chip collection is available before race morning, with awards presented at the athletics tracks post-race.

About Half Marathon races in Barcelona

Barcelona Training Notes

Barcelona hosts 10 Half Marathon races in 2026 within 80 km of the city centre — upcoming dates, recurring series, and other races nearby, all in one place.

Locals run the waterfront when they want easy base miles, and the Hotel W to Forum Park route gives you 10 km out and back. Diagonal Avenue gives you 11 km from end to end when you need steady rhythm. The loop around the top is 5 km. Barcelona Casual Runners meet Mondays at 7:30 PM by Font Magica de Montjuic and Tuesdays at 7:30 PM at La Querida. Moon Runners, Morning Runners Barcelona, Nike+Run Club, and running/trailrunning/hiking principantes keep the week moving. Cursa el Corte Ingles 2026, HYUNDAI MITJA MARATÓ DE BARCELONA, and Barcelona Midnight Trail make easy anchor events.

Locals ride west when they want climbs, because Serra de Collserola sits right there behind the city. Tibidabo is the must-do climb, and Montjuïc works when you want intervals without leaving town. Costes del Garraf gives you the coastal classic, while the Parpers loop gives you about 70 km. Santa Susanna to El Turó de l'Home gives you 130 km with 2,460 m of climbing, and Montseny per Collformic gives you 149 km with 2,436 m. Ports del Maresme gives you 101 km with 1,104 m. La Vallalta I La Carretera de Mata gives you 43 km with 548 m.

May to October gives Barcelona its best training window, with warm mornings, long light, and proper coastal energy. Locals start around 07:00-09:00 in warm months for calmer streets and a lower heat load. Weekday waterfront rides work best around 08:00-10:00, and weekend seafront starts feel best around 07:30-09:00. Winter changes the clock more than the habit. Runners still use Montjuïc, Ciutadella Park, the beach, and Collserola, while riders push starts to 10:00-12:00 for warmer temperatures and better visibility. Barcelona Casual Runners keep meeting year-round, though darkness changes routes from October onwards.
