Mitja Marato & 10k Ciutat de Gandia

The Mitja Marato & 10k Ciutat de Gandia features a half marathon and a 10K in Gandia, on Spain’s Valencia coast. The name is local: “Mitja Marato” means half marathon in Valencian, and “Ciutat de Gandia” means City of Gandia. Both races start in the morning, with the 10K departing from Passeig Maritim Neptu at Gandia Beach. The 10K is for runners aged 18 and over, with entries limited to 1,500, while the half marathon is on the regional running calendar and uses a certified 21.097 km course. The 10K is a flat, single-loop, urban race that goes through Gandia’s city center and along the beach, with aid stations at halfway and the finish. The half marathon offers a more formal race setup: start corrals, chip timing, medical support, changing rooms, bag drop, physiotherapy, toilets, parking, and a finish-area speaker. It also includes a wheelchair category, cash prizes, trophies, and finisher medals, catering to both competitive runners and those seeking a solid coastal-city race day.
