About the Event

Run through living history at the Media Elche · Gran Premio Jainser on March 22, 2026, celebrating its landmark 53rd edition as the race that pioneered the half marathon distance in Spain back in 1968. Choose between the RFEA-certified 21K, which winds through the city's UNESCO World Heritage palm grove, or a fast 10K, both starting together at 9:00 AM from the Elche Parque train station. This isn't just another race; it's a run through a bimillennial city featuring three different UNESCO listings, where ancient history and modern running culture beautifully converge. Become part of a living legacy in a unique Mediterranean destination, experiencing the perfect blend of athletic tradition and unparalleled cultural heritage.
