The Media Maratón Ruta de los Hoteles de Cartaya is a 21.1 km half marathon taking place in Cartaya, Huelva, on Spain’s Atlantic coast. It is held in May, beginning at 8:30 AM, and is organized by Cartaya City Council’s sports service. The event is listed as non-competitive, suggesting it functions more as a local running event than a race focused on times.
The course traces the Cartaya coastline, connecting Cartaya with El Rompido and Nuevo Portil, and passes the hotels situated along this section. It is part of the Diputación de Huelva Gran Fondo Circuit. The event has a low entry fee and is designed for runners, local families, and visitors to participate in a shared sports festival. Recent editions have featured a revised course, indicating a hotel-to-hotel route along Cartaya’s resort area rather than a static town loop.
