Cieza Half Marathon 2026

In most towns the local athletics club runs the half marathon. In Cieza it’s the Hermandad Santa María Magdalena, one of the town’s Holy Week brotherhoods, with support from the town council and the Murcia Athletics Federation. The 37th Media Maratón Ciudad de Cieza and the 17th 11.3 km Solidarios start at 10:00 on Sunday 20 December 2026 from the Paseo in the town centre, where the finish is too. The race was moved from 29 November because the general election was called for that day. Existing entries stay valid; runners who entered before 7 October and can’t make the new date could ask for a refund until 25 October.

The race

• Course: an urban circuit of two laps, certified by the RFEA.
• Water: approximately at km 5, 10, 15 and 20, plus the finish.
• Circuit: part of the Region of Murcia’s Running Challenge popular race league.
• Bag drop: free, at the start, organised by bib number.

Bibs on race morning

Bibs are only handed out on race day, up to half an hour before the start, and you need your ID. Runners without a visible bib aren’t insured and will be taken off the course.

Prizes with local flavour

As well as trophies for the top three overall and in each age group, there are awards for the top three locals, the top three brotherhood members, the top three runners with functional diversity, and the oldest man and woman to finish. The best club gets a trophy and a Christmas hamper, and so does the club with the most finishers across both distances.
