Medio Maratón San Lorenzo del Escorial

The Medio Maratón San Lorenzo del Escorial is a 21.097 km half marathon held in San Lorenzo del Escorial, within the Madrid region. Taking place in June and organized by Agrupación Deportiva San Lorenzo, it honors the Memorial Francisco Fernández Samaniego and is well-established in its editions. Local race information labels it as the most challenging half marathon in the Community of Madrid, indicating it is not designed as a flat, easy course for personal bests. The published course details are confined to the town and distance, but the race’s reputation suggests a demanding 21.1 km route around San Lorenzo del Escorial, rather than a simple city circuit. Participants receive aid stations offering both liquids and solids, chip timing, medical assistance, and a speaker at the finish area. The event also includes a charitable component, cash prizes, trophies, and a gift raffle, contributing to a local club-race atmosphere rather than a basic road race.
