Fuenlabrada Half Marathon 2027

For the price of a pizza, Fuenlabrada gives you a certified half marathon in the Madrid metropolitan area. The 28th edition starts at 10:00 on Sunday 18 October 2026, together with the 15th Fuenlabrada 10K. Both races start at the same time.

Route

The start is inside the Rey Juan Carlos University (URJC) campus. The course runs through the campus grounds and then out through two residential districts, the area around the Hospital de Fuenlabrada and Loranca. It’s a suburban course of university grounds and residential avenues, not a sightseeing tour.

The Madrid Athletics Federation lists the course as certified, and times here are valid for entry to Spanish championships. That’s why you’ll see club runners using it to get a qualifying time in the autumn.

Entry

• €14 for adults, €10 for 16- and 17-year-olds.
• Entries through DeporTicket until Wednesday 14 October at 24:00, or until bibs run out.
• The half marathon and 10K cost the same.

Getting there

Fuenlabrada is well connected: Cercanías line C5 stops in the town, and Metro line 12 (Metrosur) has a Hospital de Fuenlabrada station near the campus area. Driving in from central Madrid on a Sunday morning takes about 25–30 minutes, but parking fills up near a start with two races going at once. Public transport is the easier choice.

With a 10:00 start and cheap entry, this is also a good option for a Madrid runner’s first half marathon, close enough to sleep in your own bed the night before.
