"La Cal y el Olivo" (lime and olive) has been run for more than 40 years and links two towns in Seville province. The 43rd edition is on Sunday 31 January 2027, and local press says the race now takes place at the end of January instead of the first Sunday of February. This year it runs from Arahal to Morón de la Frontera.
The course
It’s a point-to-point route across the countryside between the two towns. The exact start and finish points for 2027 haven’t been published yet. Earlier listings had the start at the Paseo de la Alameda in Morón and the finish at the fairground in Arahal, so the direction is reversed for 2027. Judging is by the Andalusian Athletics Federation.
What to plan for
- Time limit: 2 hours 30 minutes in recent editions.
- Field: about 750 bibs, so don’t leave your entry too late.
- Prizes: the podium of every age category is awarded.
- Getting back: because the race is point to point, check the regulations for any shuttle or bus back to the start.
Two other Andalusian halves run on the same day: Dos Hermanas, also in Seville province, and Puente Genil in Córdoba.
