A Media do Camiño (Laza) 2027

A Media do Camiño is a brand-new race. Its first edition is on Sunday 25 October 2026 in Laza, a village in inland Ourense that’s best known for its wild Entroido carnival. The routes mostly follow the Camino de Santiago – Vía da Prata, the southern route pilgrims take from Andalusia and Extremadura towards Santiago. It’s organised by the local association ACD Ka-torce.

Terrain

Both courses combine dirt tracks and asphalt, but mostly dirt. The organisers recommend shoes that work on both surfaces. The half marathon climbs about +140 m in total, so it’s gentle for a rural course. Every junction is marked and staffed. Because you’re sharing the Camino with pilgrims, the organisers ask runners to give way and take care at shared points.

Finish-line facilities are at the Praza da Picota in Laza, with a bag drop at the start/finish area and showers in the Pavillón Municipal. The half has food and drink stations on the course, the 11 km has drinks, and there’s a final aid station at the finish.
