Alcoy Half Marathon 2026

The Mitja Marató Alcoi Unión Alcoyana Seguros, the “MUA” to locals, has had a date change. It was first announced for 29 November, but the general election was called for that day, so the 15th edition is now on Sunday 13 December 2026, starting at 9:00, close to its usual mid-December slot (the 14th edition was on 14 December 2025). Runners who couldn’t make the new date could ask for a refund between 8 and 15 October; everyone else keeps a valid entry. It’s organised by Club Atletisme Alcoi with Alcoy city council and its title sponsor, the Alcoy-based insurer Unión Alcoyana.

Format

The circuit measures 10,548 m, measured and checked by GPS. The quarter marathon is one lap and the half is two. It’s an urban course with plenty of cheering points. Half and quarter start together, with start pens organised by time and by sex to give men and women a fairer start. The race averages around 1,500 runners, with more coming from outside Alcoy and more women taking part in recent editions.

New for 2026: team races

This year the quarter marathon adds company and club categories, each for teams of four runners. There are also children’s races by age group, from under-5s to 13-year-olds.
