The start line is the view on Ávila’s postcards. The Media Maratón Ávila Monumental sets off at 10:30 on Sunday 8 November 2026 from the Cuatro Postes, the viewpoint that looks back across the river at the city’s complete medieval walls. The 12th edition runs through the historic centre, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, and finishes at the Lienzo Norte congress centre, right below the north wall. A 10K and a half-marathon-for-pairs option run on the same morning.
A hilly, high course
Ávila sits at more than 1,100 m, one of the highest provincial capitals in Spain, and its old town is built on a hill. The certified, traffic-free course passes heritage sites including the Encarnación convent, San José (Las Madres), the Paseo del Rastro along the southern walls, and San Vicente. Expect climbs and a cool November morning.
The cut-offs are strict early on
