"Torta del Casar" Half Marathon 2027

This half marathon is named after Torta del Casar, the soft, spoonable sheep’s cheese that has made Casar de Cáceres famous. The town is about 10 km north of Cáceres on the Vía de la Plata. The race is organised by Club Maratón Casar with the town council, and starts at 10:00 on Sunday 25 October 2026 from the Paseo de Extremadura, together with a 10K.

Course

The circuit is a loop of about 10 km, entirely on asphalt, and half-marathon runners complete it twice. Start and finish are in the same place, so supporters can see you as you finish each lap. The limit is 2 h 30 min for the half (checkpoint closes at 12:30) and 1 h 30 min for the 10K. Runners who miss the checkpoint are sent straight to the finish.

Race weekend

• Bibs on Saturday 24 October: 10:00–12:00 at Churrería Ronco Tovar, or 17:00–20:00 at Sala Ultrella. Or on race morning 8:00–9:30 at the start. Bring your payment confirmation email and ID.
• Runner’s bag: a commemorative technical shirt, a sports bag and gifts.
• Showers in the changing rooms of the municipal swimming pool, right by the finish, and a bag drop at the start.

Collecting your bib at a churrería the day before is a good excuse for breakfast. Finishing in cheese country is a good excuse for lunch.
