Every half marathon in Spain, in one calendar.

Mainly from October to May. Autumn brings the fast city races (Valencia, Bilbao, Seville), January to March is peak season with races almost every weekend, and spring moves to Madrid, the islands and Galicia. July and August have very few road half marathons because of the heat.

The organiser hasn’t announced the next date yet. We estimate it from the previous edition’s pattern (for example “first Sunday of February”) so you can plan ahead. Races marked Confirmed have a published date with a source link. Always check the official website before booking travel.

Usually not for road races in Spain: you accept a health declaration when you register. If you don’t hold a Spanish athletics licence, some races add a small one-day insurance fee, often around €3. Some trail races ask for specific mandatory kit, so read the regulations.

Small local half marathons often cost €10–25 if you enter early, while big-city races such as Madrid, Barcelona or Valencia range from about €30 to €70. Prices usually rise in steps as race day approaches, so entering early saves money.

Valencia is widely considered the fastest half marathon course in the world. But the current men’s world record, 56:42 by Jacob Kiplimo in 2025, was set in Barcelona. Seville, Málaga and Getafe are also flat and quick. Filter the calendar by “Flat & fast” to see them all.

Most Spanish half marathons close the course after 2 h 30 min. Big-city races often allow 3 hours, while a few smaller races are stricter (2 h 15–2 h 20). Each race page shows the time limit when the organiser publishes it. The time limit checker shows which races fit your goal time.

Yes. Alongside road half marathons, the calendar lists trail races of roughly half-marathon distance (about 19–25 km) with their elevation gain, from the Basque coast to the Pyrenees and Andalusia. Use the “Trail races” filter.

Usually at a runners’ fair or sports hall the day before the race, and sometimes on race morning. Bring photo ID and your registration confirmation (often a QR code). Some races only allow collection in person, so check the details on the official site.
