Media Elche – Gran Premio Jainser

Media Elche – Gran Premio Jainser is one of Spain’s most historic road races, proudly holding the title of the world’s oldest half marathon. Since 1968, it has brought runners to the streets of Elche to experience a flat, fast course that winds through the city center and its famous UNESCO-listed Palm Grove. With both 21K and 10K distances, the event combines elite-level organization under the Royal Spanish Athletics Federation with the charm of a 2,000-year-old Mediterranean city rich in heritage and culture. A race that blends sport, history, and atmosphere like no other.
