Castellón Half Marathon

Since 1984, the streets of Castellón have been alive with the energy of runners participating in one of Spain's longest-running half marathons. Organized annually by Unió Atlètica de Castelló (UAC), this event has grown from a local gathering to an international affair celebrated for its rich history and vibrant atmosphere.
The race begins at Plaça Espanya, where participants are greeted with the excitement of cheering crowds lining the route. As runners make their way through the city's charming neighborhoods, they pass iconic landmarks such as the Castelló Cathedral and the bustling Mercado del Pilar. The course offers a mix of flat stretches along coastal roads and scenic routes that wind through parks and historical sites.
Over the years, the race has been marked by memorable performances from local heroes like Isabel Fuster and Luis Adsuara in its inaugural edition, to more recent record-breaking achievements that have drawn thousands of runners each year. The Castellón Half Marathon not only celebrates athletic achievement but also fosters a sense of community among participants.
Join this storied event as it continues to thrive under the watchful eye of UAC and become part of Castellón’s enduring running legacy.
