Córdoba Half Marathon 2026

The Media Maratón de Córdoba turns 40 in 2026. The first edition was in 1985, won by Juan José Rosario in 1:05:02 and Laura Blanco in 1:19:00. Since then it has kept its slot on the last Sunday of November, but in 2026 it has been moved from 29 November to Sunday 13 December to avoid the general election called for that day. Entries are sold out, with a waiting list on the official website.

A course through a World Heritage city

The race is part of the World Heritage Cities running circuit, and the route shows why. The organisers highlight:

• Avenida de Vallellano and the San Rafael bridge
• the Paseo de la Ribera along the Guadalquivir
• José Cruz Conde, the Plaza de las Tendillas and Gondomar in the centre
• the Roman bridge and the Puerta del Puente, right by the Mezquita-Catedral

The published street list also takes in Avenida Calderón de la Barca, the Fuensanta district and the Glorieta de la Fuensantilla.
