Media Maratón Ciudad de Granada
24 April 2027 · Granada, Spain
scenichistoricregional favorite
The Media Maratón Ciudad de Granada is one of Andalusia's most atmospheric half marathons: start and finish sit near the Palacio de Congresos, and the course unfolds against the snow-capped peaks of the Sierra Nevada and the Alhambra rising above the city. Granada carries a rich Moorish heritage, where the Albaicín's Arab quarter sits alongside a Renaissance cathedral, and that cultural depth is felt at every kilometer of the race. April weather in Granada tends to be mild and sunny, making the course appealing to both first-time half marathoners and seasoned runners chasing a personal best. The race draws several thousand participants each year and wraps up with a citywide celebration featuring live music and typical Andalusian treats. For travelers, it's a perfect excuse to pair the run with a visit to the Alhambra and an evening of flamenco in Sacromonte.
