Half Marathon Santa Pola – 18. January 2026

Join us for the Santa Pola Half Marathon on Sunday, 18th January 2026 at 10:30, where Mediterranean charm meets athletic challenge along the stunning Costa Blanca.
The Course
Starting from the harbour car park on Fernando Pérez Ojeda Street, you’ll embark on a scenic 21.0975km single-loop journey through the heart of Santa Pola. The route takes you westward through the town centre before heading along a main road between kilometres 2 and 4. A distinctive hairpin turn around one of the harbour’s jetties offers a unique maritime atmosphere and picturesque views.
From 8km onwards, you’ll run between the Mediterranean Sea and charming seaside villas until the 10km mark—an idyllic stretch with breathtaking coastal vistas. A left turn brings you back towards the town centre via Almirante Antequera Street, passing a children’s playground surrounded by welcome greenery around the 15km point. The final three kilometres follow the same route as kilometres 4, 5, and 6, ensuring a familiar finish on recognisable terrain.
