Fuengirola Half Marathon 2027

In 2025 the Fuengirola Half Marathon set a participation record of 2,500 runners from up to 30 countries. For 2026 the cap is 3,000, and every place is now taken. The 9th edition starts at 9:30 on Sunday 8 November 2026. It’s organised by Fuengirola council’s sports department. If you already have a bib, here’s what to expect.

The route

Start and finish are on the central avenue of the recinto ferial, the fairground. The published street list gives a clear picture of the loop:

1. Out along Paseo Jesús Santos Rein, then turnarounds on Avenida Jesús Cautivo towards Málaga and back towards Marbella.
2. Through town via Juan Gómez “Juanito”, Camilo José Cela, Camino de la Condesa and calle Málaga to the Paseo Marítimo, heading towards Marbella.
3. Along the bike lane to the Armada Española bridge over the river, then to the foot of the castle (the Mare Nostrum area) and back over the bridge.
4. The long seafront stretch east to Carvajal, where you turn and climb onto the old N-340 at the Arco Iris roundabout, through Torreblanca and Los Boliches.
5. Back into the centre on Ramón y Cajal and Alfonso XIII, then the fairground roundabout and the finish.
