Barcelona Half Marathon

eDreams Mitja Marató de Barcelona 2027 returns on 14 February 2027 for another edition of one of Europe’s standout city half marathons. On the official site, the 2027 race is currently presented under the sponsor title Hyundai Mitja Marató Barcelona by Brooks, and the event remains a 21.097 km race run entirely on urban roads with World Athletics Gold Label status. What makes it especially attractive is the mix of speed and atmosphere: the organizers describe the course as flat, performance-oriented, and fully urban, running through the heart of Barcelona and along the coast. Barcelona’s reputation as a fast race is not just marketing either—the event hosted the half marathon world record of 56:42 in 2025, and the organizers now describe it as the fastest half marathon course in the world. At the same time, it is built as a major city celebration, with more than 25 entertainment points on the course and a record 36,000 runners in the 2026 edition, giving it the scale and energy of one of Europe’s biggest and most festive 21K events. For runners considering 2027, it offers a rare balance: real PB potential, international prestige, Mediterranean scenery, and the feeling of racing through a city that turns the whole day into a running festival.
