Thousands of locals come out to support a global gathering of runners, snaking through the iconic streets of Valencia - giving you the atmosphere you deserve! Join #TeamBrainResearchUK and take on the Valencia Half Marathon to help fund life-changing neurological research.
Please note that our charity places for the 2026 Valencia Half Marathon are now fully allocated, but you can enquire for 2027 below!
The final event on the SuperHalf's calendar, the Valencia Half Marathon is a fast course which previously held three world records from 2017.
The city centre course winds its way through the busy streets of Valencia, as well as the Maritime Quarter. The route is constantly tweaked to make sure it takes inas much of the authentic city experience as possible, as well as removing sometighter bends to allow for faster finishing times.
