Alicante Half Marathon

The Alicante Half Marathon offers a scenic route along Spain’s Mediterranean coast, combining urban streets with stretches that run close to the waterfront. Runners pass through Alicante’s city center before reaching sections where the sea becomes the dominant backdrop of the race. The course is generally flat, with a few gentle inclines that add variety without significantly affecting pacing. Views of the marina, palm-lined promenades, and the Santa Bárbara Castle rising above the city create a distinctive setting throughout the route. The race attracts a mix of local runners and international visitors who are drawn by the coastal scenery and relaxed atmosphere of the city. Many participants choose Alicante for its combination of a pleasant course profile and the opportunity to race beside the Mediterranean.
