Orihuela International Half Marathon 2026

For 2026 the Medio Maratón Nacional “Orihuela Monumental” has a new name that points to the city’s heritage: churches, palaces and the cathedral in the old town below the Sierra de Orihuela. The 27th edition is on Sunday 15 November 2026, with the 10th 8K Gran Premio Caja Rural Central on the same morning. It’s organised by the local club Club Atletismo Tragamillas with Orihuela city council.

What previous editions looked like

The 2026 regulations and start time hadn’t been published when we checked. In 2025 the race:

• started and finished next to the Glorieta Gabriel Miró, named after the writer Gabriel Miró, who went to school in Orihuela;
• used an RFEA-certified urban circuit with a 2 h 30 min limit;
• handed out bibs at the Auditorio La Lonja on Saturday and on race morning.

The race has offered good prize money in the past. For the 2024 edition the club offered €1,000, €600 and €300 to the top three men and women, and team prizes for clubs of licensed athletes. Check the club website for the 2026 details, including the time limit and bib collection.
