Most half marathons start and finish in the same place. This one doesn’t. The Seville–Los Palacios Half Marathon starts on the Carretera de Isla Menor in Bellavista, on the southern edge of Seville next to the José María Blanco White school complex, and finishes 21.097 km later in Los Palacios y Villafranca. The 47th edition is on Sunday 20 December 2026 at 11:00, a week later than first planned so it doesn’t clash with the rescheduled Seville and Córdoba half marathons. Entries and bibs stay valid. The certified course is on the RFEA national calendar.
Plan the logistics first
Because the start and finish are in different towns, work out how you’ll reach the start and get back from the finish before race day. The regulations say the organisers aren’t responsible for runners who can’t get to the start line after 9:30. On race day, bibs are handed out from 8:00 to 10:00 in an area near the start, and not after that.
You can also collect earlier:
- Originally 10–11 December (check the official site for the updated pick-up dates after the move to 20 December): Deportemanía (c/ Samaniego 10, Seville), Maracaná (Plaza Jerez de la Frontera 15, Cádiz) or Wellion International (Polígono El Muro, Los Palacios y Villafranca).
- Originally Saturday 12 December, 10:00–14:00, at the Pabellón José Moral in Los Palacios.
Pace and time limit
The course closes 2 h 15 min after the start, tighter than the 2 h 30 min many road halves allow, so you need to average about 6:24/km. Water is at km 5, 10, 15 and 17.5 and at the finish. Medical cover is at the start, km 10 and the finish. Start pens are colour-coded, and you’ll need a qualifying time to get into the faster ones.
