TotalEnergies Málaga City Half Marathon

TotalEnergies Malaga Half Marathon is one of southern Europe’s standout spring road races, combining a fast, sea-level course with the bright, open atmosphere of the Costa del Sol. Held in Málaga and set for 7 March 2027, the event has grown into a major international race, expanding to 14,000 bibs after reaching 12,000 runners in 2026, with organizers reporting a notably global field that included more than 90 nationalities.

What makes the race especially attractive is the course itself. The organizers describe it as completely flat and run at sea level, and the route map shows a city-and-coast layout starting and finishing on Paseo del Parque, passing the port, La Farola lighthouse, and long seafront stretches beside the Mediterranean. That gives the event a rare balance: it is built for strong times, but it also feels scenic, open, and unmistakably tied to Málaga’s waterfront identity. With wave starts, on-course aid stations, and a well-developed race setup, it appeals both to runners chasing a personal best and to those looking for a polished destination half marathon with a distinctly coastal character.
