Osuna Half Marathon 2027

This is not a flat PB course. The Villa Ducal de Osuna half marathon heads out of town on the road towards Martín de la Jara. It then climbs to the town’s El Calvario motocross circuit before returning to finish on the athletics track of the Estadio Municipal Raúl Carrosa. The local press calls it a dura prueba, a tough race. The winning times back that up: in 2024 the men’s race was won in 1:17:35 and the women’s in 1:32:45, with around 200 runners taking part.

Key details

• Start: 9:30 on Sunday 4 October 2026, 11th edition.
• Places: capped at 500.
• Bib pickup: race morning only, 7:30–9:00 at the Polideportivo Municipal, so arrive with time to spare.
• Organiser: local club Atletas d’Élite de Osuna, with the town council.

Choose your price

Osuna lets you enter with or without the runner’s bag. That’s unusual, and useful if you already have more race shirts than you need:

	With bag	Without bag
1 July – 31 August	€12	€8
From 1 September	€18	€14

Online entries close on 30 September, or sooner if the places run out. Entries with the bag close a few days earlier, on 27 September.

Pacing the hills

The hardest part is the climb to El Calvario, and the run back into town gives some of that height back. Treat the way out as a steady effort, not a time trial, and keep something in reserve for the return. Much of the course is on open countryside roads with little shade, so bring a cap if the forecast is sunny.

Osuna itself

The town is worth staying for. Its Renaissance old town includes the ducal Collegiate Church, the old university and the palaces on Calle San Pedro. The bullring was used as a filming location for Game of Thrones. Seville is about an hour away by car.
