BOTAMARGES
Botamarges is a mountain trail race based around Forna in Alicante, Spain, with listings also placing it in the Dénia area of the Valencian Community. The main race is a UTMB Index 50K event of about 64 km with 3,200 m of climbing, while a shorter 21 km option climbs about 1,100 m. ITRA rates the race at Mountain Level 5, so this is steep, technical trail running rather than a flat ultras-style distance test.
The course uses the mountain paths of Alicante province, and the name appears in race listings as Botamarges, Botamarges BTMM, and Botamarges Ultramaraton. Recent results show just over a hundred finishers in the long race, with Sergio Gutierrez Ferrol winning in 6:30:55 and David Garcia Mascarell close behind in second. The organizer is Club de Muntanya de Forna, and the event’s cheeky French tagline, “Tu as de la marge!”, roughly means “You have room” or “You have margin.”
Semi-Marathon de Valence
The Valencia Half Marathon, or Medio Maratón Valencia, is a late-October road half marathon held in Valencia, Spain. Its very flat course is designed for fast running. Nearly 22,000 athletes from around the world participate annually. The event is part of the SuperHalfs series, which includes Lisbon, Prague, Copenhagen, Berlin, and Cardiff. Valencia concludes the SuperHalfs calendar. The race has hosted the women’s half marathon world record, set by Letesenbet Gidey at 1:02:52. Alessia Zarbo also set a French record of 1:08:20 on this course.
The course connects the historic center with the maritime district, beginning at the foot of the Torre Miramar. Runners go by city landmarks such as the Museum of Fine Arts, Turia Stadium, Torres de Quart, Torres de Serranos, and the Palace of the Marquis of Dos Aguas. The Royal Spanish Athletics Federation rates it as Spain’s best half marathon. Its certified course, runner care, mild late-October weather, and the strong international fields explain its popularity among those seeking personal bests.
Alácera Trail
Alácera Trail takes place in late October in Caudete, located in Spain’s Albacete province. Organized by Club Trail Running Caudete, the event features a main trail race of approximately 21-22 km, a 14 km sprint trail, and a 14 km walking route. This allows participants to select the intensity of their day in the hills.
The event is relatively new, with references to its third edition. It has established itself as a local club race centered on its mountain environment. The race shirt is also a key element of its identity. The club describes the shirt's design as representing energy, effort, and the enjoyment of the mountains, reflecting the event's overall atmosphere.

Trail de Buñol

Participants can also opt for a shorter 12 km trail that includes 436 m of elevation gain. Additionally, a 9 km walking route is offered for those who wish to enjoy the terrain without competing.
The race is organized by C.A. Correores Buñol and is now in its tenth year. The event attracts significant local participation, with the most recent edition seeing 389 runners in the Sprint Trail, 201 in the 21 km race, and 110 in the walk, marking a new entry record. Support for the race comes from the Buñol town council, its Youth and Environment departments, the Diputación de Valencia, and local sponsors. Notably, the walking route can reach capacity before the running distances fill up.
La Gran Carrera del Mediterráneo
La Gran Carrera del Mediterráneo hosts runners and stand-up paddleboarders along Spain’s Costa Blanca in mid-November. The running race is a 21K half marathon, and the Mediterráneo SUP Race includes long-distance paddle racing. It connects Alicante, Elche, and Santa Pola, with the Mediterranean Sea alongside the route. The event typically spans two days: one for registration and recreational activities, followed by a competition day for the scored races.
The course traces the coast past Alicante, Elche, and Santa Pola, with Tabarca island visible to the left and the finish at Varadero beach. It attracts both runners and paddle surfers, with recent participation exceeding 5,000 people across both disciplines. The SUP race is part of the Mediterranean Circuit and has been linked to Spain’s long-distance federation league, attracting national-level paddlers alongside the general participants. The Provincial Council of Alicante has supported the race since its inception, and Tele Deporte has featured the event in a report on a recent edition.
Semi-Marathon de Gandie
The Semi-Marathon de Gandie is a road race in Gandie, Spain, offering a 10 km race and a half marathon. It is suitable for runners who already compete regularly, and the shorter option provides an entry point for committed beginners.
The route follows the coast and crosses natural areas with lakes and ponds. The course also incorporates less common parts of the region, allowing runners to see more than a typical town circuit while competing on roads around Gandie.
La Grande Course de la Méditerranée 21K
La Grande Course de la Méditerranée 21K is a half marathon in Spain, held in mid-November. It connects Alicante with Santa Pola, structured as a point-to-point run between two coastal towns rather than a city loop.
The course runs along the Spanish coast, with participants heading from Alicante toward Santa Pola along the shoreline. This is the event's eighth edition, providing it with established history while remaining a relatively new race series.
Trail Serra D'Oltà
Trail Serra d'Oltà is a mountain trail race held in Calpe, on Spain’s Alicante coast, beginning at Partida Gargasindi. It typically takes place in December, with distances ranging from approximately 14 to 22 kilometers.
The race utilizes the Serra d'Oltà area above Calpe, positioning it as a local mountain event distinct from road races through the resort. It is included in the CTM trail series and has reached its 21st edition, indicating its established presence on the regional running calendar.
Mondúver Trail Xeresa
Media Maratón Unión Alcoyana
The Media Maratón Unión Alcoyana is a running event held annually in Alcoi, Spain, during December, with its main races commencing in the morning. It offers multiple participation options beyond a single distance: a half marathon, a quarter marathon, Nordic walking, a half relay, a walking event, and a micro marathon designed for children.
Organized by Club Atletisme Alcoi, this marks the thirteenth edition of the race. The route utilizes the same circuit as in past years, crossing several of the city’s notable districts. This approach provides participants with an extensive view of Alcoi, differing from a confined stadium-based competition.
Dos Aguas Trail
The Dos Aguas Trail is a new mountain race in Dos Aguas, held in October with two distance options: 11k and 21k. Its first edition has already drawn over 300 registered runners, with entries managed via Cronorunner.
Both routes ascend Pico del Ave, the race's main feature and a summit reaching nearly 1,000 meters. The 11k and 21k courses are available on Wikiloc, allowing runners to preview the terrain before race day and select between a shorter trail run or a longer effort on the same mountain.

About Half Marathon races in Gandía-Oliva
Gandia-Oliva Training Notes
Gandía-Oliva hosts 14 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 coast first, then go inland when they want bite. The route is 5 km, and the easy line works well for Z2, strides, or a calm shakeout. The full loop covers 44 miles and gains 47,398 feet. Club d’Atletisme Safor Teika, Club Atletismo Gandia, and Gandia Triatló keep the scene moving. The anchor calendar stays busy with Volta a Peu Palma de Gandía, Volta a Peu de Ador, Gandia Half Marathon, 10k Nocturna Platja de Gandia, and Oliva Running 10K.
Locals ride the flat stuff between Gandia and Oliva when the legs need base miles. The route runs 2 km, climbs 44 m, and mixes cycleway, quiet road, and road. You can also ride 5 km from Oliva to Gandia. The route covers 44 miles and 47,398 feet of climbing. Ruta de Gandia a Sagunto adds longer road work through points like Font Freda and Altos de Salomón. Gandia Triatló anchors the multisport crowd, while Cumbre del Sol and Port de Bèrnia hold the climbing drills.
Spring gives both runners and cyclists the cleanest rhythm, with March to May sitting around 20°C to 25°C. Autumn gives the same kind of confidence, with September to November around 18°C to 25°C and quieter roads after the summer tourism season. Summer asks for early starts, because Costa Blanca heat can reach 35°C and the busy season changes the feel of the coast. Winter keeps training possible but sharper, with 10°C to 15°C days and more planning for long rides, while November still gives over 10 hours of daylight from about 7:30 am to just after 6:00 pm.
