Arcos de la Frontera Half Marathon 2027

The Media Maratón Ciudad de Arcos is organised by the sports department of Arcos de la Frontera town council. It doesn’t start in the hilltop town itself but in Jédula, a village in the municipality on the plain towards Jerez. The 4th edition was on 31 January 2026, starting at the Jédula sports centre (polideportivo), with entry at €18 through the Andalusian Athletics Federation (FAA) website. The 2027 date hasn’t been announced, and late January or early February is the pattern.

The course

The 2025 regulations describe a 21.097 km course timed by federation judges. It runs through the streets of Jédula and along the A-382a (the old Jerez–Cartagena road) between km 12.5 and 19.5, the stretch linking Jédula and Arcos, with two turnarounds, and it stays entirely within Arcos municipality. The finish was at the Jédula sports centre, where runners, volunteers, Protección Civil and Red Cross stay on for a get-together afterwards.

Small field, full service

The race is kept small. In 2025 the field was capped at 250 adults, plus 200 children in the youth races. The 2026 edition was listed with:

• water at km 5, 10 and 15 and at the finish;
• pacers for 1:25, 1:30, 1:35, 1:40, 1:45 and 1:50;
• a cloakroom;
• category trophies for the first three women and men;
• a commemorative medal for every finisher.

A family morning

In 2025 the programme also included a wheelchair category on the same course (no handbikes), a 1.5 km urban race for the under-18 categories and races for younger children at the Jédula football ground. It also counted towards the town’s local popular race circuit. Entries were only online through the FAA, and there were no late entries.
