Los Barruecos Half Marathon (Malpartida de Cáceres) 2027

Few races run through an art museum. The Media Maratón Los Barruecos does, passing through the Vostell Malpartida Museum, the contemporary art centre founded by Wolf Vostell in an old wool-washing building. The course also runs through the Los Barruecos Natural Monument, among granite boulders and past the historic ponds where scenes for Game of Thrones were filmed.

The 14th edition was on Sunday 18 January 2026. The next edition is on Sunday 17 January 2027 at 11:00, with bib pick-up on Saturday 16 January. Entries are sold out and only a waiting list is open: €20 for the half marathon, paid once a released bib is assigned to you. The race is organised by the Ayuntamiento de Malpartida de Cáceres with Club Atletismo Malpartida Los Barruecos.
