Valencia Half Marathon

The Valencia Half Marathon follows a fast loop through the center of Valencia, beginning near the City of Arts and Sciences and finishing on the famous blue carpet over the water beside the futuristic complex. The course runs through wide avenues in the historic center before reaching the maritime district near the Mediterranean. Runners pass landmarks such as the Turia Gardens and the port area before returning toward the finish. The route sits at sea level and is known for its extremely flat profile, allowing very consistent pacing. Long straight avenues and minimal sharp turns make the layout ideal for fast performances. The combination of flat terrain, large roads, and strong crowd support has helped make it one of the fastest half marathons in the world.
