The Media Maratón El Puerto is the youngest half marathon on this calendar, and it is changing seasons. After its first edition in 2025 and a second on 24 May 2026, the third edition will run at 9:00 on Sunday 31 January 2027, with a 10K added for the first time. The organiser is Runnink, working with the El Puerto de Santa María council and the Cádiz provincial council.

What the last edition showed

The May 2026 race drew 2,150 runners, starting at 8:30 from the El Paseo shopping centre. Pedro Garrido (Runchip Jerez Catunambú) won in 1:10:36 and Irene Peinado of the same club in 1:30:10. That course left the shopping centre and spread across the city: Avenida Rey Felipe VI, the historic centre, Avenida de Fuentebravía, Vistahermosa, Puerto Sherry, Avenida de Menesteo and Avenida de Sanlúcar.

For 2027 the organisers say about 90% of the route stays the same, with fewer turns, wider avenues and a more fluid circuit. Start and finish stay on the N-IV beside El Paseo.

Practicalities

Places: 3,000 for the half, 1,500 for the 10K, so 4,500 in all.
Price: €20 to €30 for the half and €15 to €25 for the 10K, depending on the registration date.
Entries close: 17 January 2027 at 23:59, or sooner if bibs sell out. Runners from the 2026 race had a 24-hour priority window.
Bibs: Friday 29 January and Saturday 30 January, 10:00 to 20:00 at El Paseo. Race-day pickup costs €9, from 07:00 to 08:00, with limited spots.
Finisher gear: a technical shirt (sleeveless or short-sleeve), a medal, and water and fruit.

Date change

The 2026 race started at 8:30 in May and the 2027 one at 9:00 in January. The same Sunday also has the Castellón and Getafe half marathons, and the Cádiz City Half is the province’s other half marathon, in November.
