Huelva Half Marathon (21K Ciudad de Huelva) 2027

The 21K Ciudad de Huelva was created because local runners wanted a certified half marathon on the national calendar, one “worthy of Huelva and its people”, as the regulations put it. It’s organised by Huelva city council with Runner Sport Huelva, and the 2026 edition is on Sunday 1 November, the All Saints’ Day holiday. Entries close on 25 October and bibs are handed out on 30 and 31 October.

The details below are from the 2025 regulations. The 2026 version hadn’t been published when we checked.

One loop through the whole city

The course is a single 21.097 km loop, certified by the RFEA and marked every kilometre. It starts and finishes in the Plaza de la Constitución. The organisers aimed to show off the city while keeping it as fast as Huelva’s streets allow. You pass through neighbourhoods such as La Orden, Las Colonias and La Merced and along big avenues including Avenida de Andalucía and Avenida de Italia, with out-and-back sections on Avenida Cristóbal Colón, Avenida José Luis García Palacios and Avenida de Andalucía.

Time limit and aid

• Start: 10:00, with pens by accredited time (elite and under 1:20, 1:20–1:30, 1:30–1:40, over 1:40).
• Limit: 2 h 30 min, with intermediate cut-offs. A tail vehicle marks the cut-off, and runners it overtakes must stop.
• Water: roughly km 5, 10, 13 and 17, and at the finish. Only race staff may hand you anything on course.
• Bibs must be worn on the chest. Race belts at the waist aren’t allowed.

Entry in 2025

Prices were €20, €23, €26 and €29 depending on the date, plus €3 for runners without an RFEA or Andalusian federation licence. There was no entry cap. Anyone entering in the final week got a bib without their name on it, and shirt sizes were only guaranteed until mid-September. Guides for blind or visually impaired (B2) runners enter free.

Bibs, shirts and bags were handed out at the runners’ fair at the Fundación Caja Rural (calle Moras Claros). Race-morning collection in the Plaza de la Constitución was only for runners from outside the province. Everyone who finishes in time gets a finisher medal, and the course records (1:04:16 and 1:17:02) carry a €300 bonus.
