Media Maratón Abel Antón

Soria hosts its main running event of the year with the Medio Maratón Ciudad de Soria Abel Antón. This race series in Castilla y León, Spain, centers on a half marathon honoring the province's most renowned long-distance runner. The event also features the Fermín Cacho Caja Rural 5K and children's races, ensuring participation beyond just half-marathoners. It takes place in September as part of the Ciudad de Soria race series. The specific route details, regulations, and runner services are released for each race individually. The event maintains official results and photographs from previous years online. The half marathon carries significant local importance due to Abel Antón; he was born in Soria province, transitioned from track running to marathons, secured two world marathon championships, and earned European track medals. Fermín Cacho's inclusion in the 5K further strengthens the Soria athletics connection, as he and Antón later co-owned a sports shop in the city.
