Toro Half Marathon 2027

Toro is a wine town on a bluff above the Duero, with Romanesque churches, old towers and viewpoints. Its half marathon sends you through all of it twice, then finishes inside the bullring. The 2026 edition was on Sunday 25 January at 11:00. It was organised by CD Trail Run Sport Toro and the town council, with Runvasport as technical director. The 2027 date isn’t published yet, and late January is the norm.

Two laps of Toro

The half is two laps: first 10,000 m, then 11,097 m. The 10K runners stop after the first. Each lap has two halves:

• The fast part. From the bullring gates you head north to the flat, asphalt industrial estate and back, then along Toro’s main roads through town and out and back on the Pozoantiguo road, flat to about km 6.
• The old town. From there you run on cobbles along Capuchinos, San Antón and the Barrio del Canto past the patron saint’s hermitage, then the Judería, the Plaza Mayor, the Arco del Reloj, Calle El Sol and Rejadorada, finishing in the Plaza de San Francisco inside the bullring.

The organisers describe gentle slopes of about 2% but no real hills. They also note that crowds line much of the route despite the usual late-January cold, so pack gloves and a hat.
