The Córdoba-Almodóvar del Río Half Marathon begins at the Grand Portico of Medina Azahara, the archaeological site near Córdoba, and proceeds towards Almodóvar del Río. This road half marathon is organized by the Municipal Sports Delegation of Almodóvar del Río City Council. A 10K race from Villarrubia to Almodóvar del Río starts at the same time.
The race connects a practical point-to-point run with local heritage, using Medina Azahara as its starting point instead of a typical city street. Its 40th edition reintroduces cash prizes, adding a competitive element to the field while sharing the day with 10K participants on the shorter Villarrubia-Almodóvar course.
