Semi-Marathon Francisco Sánchez Falcón "Paquito"
The Semi-Marathon Francisco Sánchez Falcón "Paquito" is a 21.1 km road half marathon taking place in Lebrija, Andalusia, southern Spain. It occurs in early October and follows city streets, not trails or rural roads.
The course is a single loop, starting and finishing in Lebrija. Participants will run past streets featuring local monuments, combining the standard half-marathon distance with an opportunity to see a historic town in Seville province.
Semi-Marathon de Xéres (Jerez)
The Semi-Marathon de Xéres is a 21.0975 km road half marathon held in Jerez de la Frontera, located in the province of Cadiz, Andalusia, Spain. It takes place in late October, and the event uses the French name Xéres for Jerez, the city where runners begin.
The course consists of a single loop through Jerez, incorporating city streets, public parks, monuments, and a section along the coast. It is part of a larger series of races, but the specific details indicate it is primarily a standard road half marathon focused on Jerez, not an event with multiple distances.
XXX Media Maratón Jerez 2026
The XXX Media Maratón Jerez is a 21.097-kilometer half marathon held in Jerez de la Frontera. The start is on Avenida Alcalde Álvaro Domecq near the González Hontoria entrance, and the finish is inside the Estadio Municipal de Chapín. It begins at 9:00 a.m., an hour earlier than in previous years, and attracts over 1,200 participants. This race has been a fixture for local and visiting runners for about thirty years.
The route is described by organizers as flat and comfortable, making it suitable for runners seeking a fast time or those moving up to this distance. It passes Jerez landmarks such as the Plaza de Toros and the Real Escuela before concluding at the stadium. Bibs and runner bags are distributed at the Feria del Corredor before the event. Limited race-morning pickup is available only for eligible runners from outside Cádiz province who have requested it. Volunteers are recruited via the event's website, contributing to a community sports day atmosphere rather than just a timed race.
Eurafrica Trail
Eurafrica Trail is a mountain-running race around the Strait of Gibraltar, conceived from the idea of holding a cross-country event on two continents. It originated in Algeciras, with organizers aiming for runners to appreciate the natural heritage of their city and the surrounding region.
The race connects the European and African sides of the strait. The first intercontinental edition concluded with a party in the kasbah of Chefchaouen. Mountain runners are the primary participants, and the organizers focus the event on sport, respect for nature, and cultural exchange, rather than solely on finishing times.
Media Maratón Ciudad de Cádiz
The Media Maratón Ciudad de Cádiz is a 21.097 km half marathon held in Cádiz. It begins at La Caleta and concludes next to the Cathedral of Cádiz. The race takes place in November, starting at 9:00 a.m. This event is in its third edition.
The course follows the city’s beachside edge into the historic center, then proceeds along Campo del Sur and the Paseo Marítimo before reaching Calle Brasil and returning to a cathedral finish. It succeeded the Media Maratón Bahía de Cádiz. Categories include runners from Sub 20 to over-70, athletes with disabilities, and local participants.
Trail Sierra de Facinas
Trail Sierra de Facinas is a mountain race held in Facinas, a village within the Tarifa area of Cádiz, southern Spain. It typically takes place in early November, with registration opening several months prior. The primary trail race covers approximately 21 km, featuring around 600 to 650 m of elevation gain, positioning it as a challenging intermediate distance between a fast half marathon and a demanding mountain challenge.
The course is designed as a well-maintained mountain path that begins gaining elevation from the first kilometer. Sufficient climbing is included to necessitate careful pacing. A non-competitive option is available, making the event accessible to participants not focused on achieving a specific ranking. The race is organized by AYTO FACINAS, and this marks its fourth edition, lending it a grounded, local character rather than that of a fleeting event.
Media Maratón Ciudad de Cádiz
The Media Maratón Ciudad de Cádiz is a 21.1 km road race held in Cádiz. It begins at La Caleta and concludes in Plaza de la Catedral. This urban half marathon takes place on a Sunday morning, with local traffic management typically impacting the city from approximately 8:30 AM to noon. Registration is limited to 3,000 participants and is handled by Cronofinisher. The Asociación Gaditana Yo Me Uno al Retto por la Investigación del Síndrome de Rett assists in organizing the event.
The course utilizes city streets, including Avenida Duque de Nájera, Avenida Campo del Sur, Calle Concepción Arenal, Glorieta Cornelio Balbo, Avenida Andalucía, and Avenida Ana de Viya. Participants will encounter views of the sea along the Cádiz waterfront and pass through historical areas, finishing near the cathedral for a distinct old-city conclusion.
Media Maratón Ciudad de Cádiz 2026
Media Maratón Ciudad de Cádiz is a 21.1 km road race in Cádiz, run in November with a morning start. It is a city half marathon rather than a trail or point-to-point countryside race, and its route uses Cádiz itself as the setting: old streets, waterfront avenues, and the area around the cathedral.
The course starts at La Caleta, passes through the historic center, Campo del Sur, Paseo Marítimo, and other urban roads, then finishes in Plaza de la Catedral. It is a young race in its current form, with early editions following the older Media Maratón Bahía de Cádiz, and it draws hundreds of runners into the streets while the city sets up traffic cuts and diversions for the morning.
Cross Pinar Del Hierro Y la Espartosa
Cross Pinar del Hierro y la Espartosa is a cross-country race held in Chiclana de la Frontera, within the Pinar del Hierro y la Espartosa public forest park. The Sports Delegation of Chiclana City Council is the organizer. The main adult race begins in the morning, followed by races for younger age groups. Adult participants will run 7.6 kilometers on a circuit approved by the Andalusian Athletics Federation.
The adult competition features under-18, under-20, senior, and veteran categories for men and women. These runners will complete two laps of the designated circuit. Subsequently, the event transitions to younger participants, ranging from under-16 down to pitufos, with race distances varying from three kilometers to 200 meters. The program also includes adapted-distance races and school races, ensuring the day accommodates both competitive club athletes and local children seeking their own race.
Media Maratón Sevilla-Los Palacios
The Media Maratón Sevilla-Los Palacios is a half marathon held in December, covering the standard 21.097 km distance. It begins in Seville and concludes in Los Palacios y Villafranca. Organized by the Sports Delegation of the Los Palacios y Villafranca City Council, this race holds significant local importance as the oldest in Andalusia.
The start is located on Isla Menor road, adjacent to the José María Blanco White educational complex. The course then proceeds through urban areas, connecting Seville with Los Palacios y Villafranca. Aid stations are provided for runners at 5, 10, 15, and 17 km, with an additional station at the finish. Participants must complete the race within 2 hours and 15 minutes. The event awards trophies to the top three male and female finishers in each category, offers cash prizes to the overall winners, and includes a 1,500 euro bonus for setting a new course record, which stands at 1:00:34 for men and 1:09:06 for women.

About Half Marathon races in Santander
Bay Miles And Coastal Climbs
Santander hosts 12 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 bay when they want easy Z2 and a clean coastal rhythm. The route covers 70 km and gains 282 m, so it works as a steady long run. Ruta costera Santander 24 km keeps things coastal and gains 138 m, which suits base miles. The 99 km route has just 94 m of gain, so it feels honest without biting. Night Loop fits sharper after-work intervals. Trail Sierra San Cristóbal brings the trail fix. Run clubs stay unnamed in the notes, so locals talk routes and anchor races first: Running Night Los Toruños, Media Maratón El Puerto, and 5K Valdelagrana.
Locals ride from the Bay of Santander straight into coastal miles. Virgen del Mar Trail and Costa de Santander Route are the easy calls when the legs need tarmac, sea air, and no drama. The route runs 9 km and climbs 428 m, and the line has good coffee stop options including Somo Beach Cafe. Muriedas-Langre Loop, Santander to Ribadesella Route, and Jakobsweg Coastal Trail carry the harder days. 7 km. Santander - Alisas - Santander gives 71 km and 1,084 m, while Santander-La Braguia-Vega de Pas-Santander stretches into gran fondo legs.
Summer running belongs after dark when Running Night Los Toruños uses the natural setting and the heat drops enough for rhythm. Summer riding stays coastal first, with Virgen del Mar Trail, Costa de Santander Route, and the ferry from near the Santander ferry port to Somo keeping the day social. Winter details are not named in the brief, so locals still read the route more than the calendar. The Via Verde del Pas goes south or south-west and drops you straight into countryside, while the interior brings some quite steep gravely roads for cyclocross legs, singletrack moods, and punchy intervals.
