Tarragona Half Marathon 2027

The Mitja Marató + 10K Ciutat de Tarragona is organised by Tarragona Esports, the city’s municipal sports body, and reaches its 35th edition on Sunday 8 November 2026. Both races start together at 9:00 from Carrer Torres Jordi. Entry is capped at 1,700 (950 for the half, 750 for the 10K), and all places are taken.

The breakwater rule

The course is partly closed to traffic. It includes a section along the escullera, the harbour breakwater. The limit for the half is 2 h 30 min, but there’s an important checkpoint: anyone passing km 17 after 2 h 00 isn’t allowed onto the breakwater. If you’re aiming for around 2:20–2:30, be past km 17 with time to spare. That means averaging about 7:04/km or faster to that point.

If you have a bib

• Bib collection: Saturday 7 November, 16:00–20:00, and Sunday 8 November, 7:30–8:50, at the Pavelló Poliesportiu del Serrallo, in the fishermen’s quarter by the port. The race gift, a T-shirt, is only handed out during these hours.
• Changes: any change of distance or personal details has to be requested at least 8 days before the race.
• Refunds: requests must reach the organisers at least 72 hours before the race, and a technical committee decides each case.
• Minimum age: 18 for the half and 16 for the 10K.

Prizes

The first five men and women overall win awards, plus the winner of each age group, in five birth-year bands, from 2006 or later to before 1969. There’s also a club prize: the best combined time of a club’s first five men, or first three women. Trophies are only handed out at the ceremony on race day.
