Celebrating its 35th\u00a0anniversary and aiming to attract more than 25,000 runners, this event has cemented its reputation as one of Europe\u2019s fastest and most attractive half marathons. This guide brings you everything you need to know to make the most of race day: key facts, a detailed description of the course, history, expected weather conditions and a training plan to arrive at the start line in top shape.

Runners will set off in staggered waves according to their predicted pace to avoid crowding.<\/li><li><strong>Distance and elevation:<\/strong> 21.097\u00a0km on a single-loop urban circuit with around 81\u00a0m of total positive elevation. The course is very flat, making it ideal for personal bests.<\/li><li><strong>Participants:<\/strong> more than 25,000 runners from over 100 countries are expected. Last year 30,000 athletes took part, and 40\u00a0% were women.<\/li><li><strong>Pacers and target times:<\/strong> the organisation provides 30 pacers covering target times of 1:20, 1:25, 1:30, 1:35, 1:40, 1:45, 1:50, 1:55, 2:00 and\u00a02:05.<\/li><li><strong>Time limit:<\/strong> 2\u00a0h\u00a045\u00a0min from the last starting wave.<\/li><li><strong>Services:<\/strong> refreshment stations at kilometres\u00a05,\u00a010 and\u00a015, entertainment points every few kilometres, medical support and baggage drops, and extra public transport. The course holds the World\u00a0Athletics Gold\u00a0Label and is completely closed to traffic.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">A fast urban route showcasing the best of Barcelona<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The Barcelona Half Marathon stands out for its flat route that blends culture, sea and architecture. After leaving Passeig\u00a0Picasso, runners traverse the Ciutadella park and head towards the waterfront via <a href=\"https:\/\/www.finishers.com\/en\/event\/barcelona-half-marathon\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Pla\u00e7a\u00a0Colom and the Columbus Monument<\/a> before tackling a long straight section to Pla\u00e7a\u00a0Espanya. From there the course follows iconic avenues such as Paral\u00b7lel and Gran\u00a0Via de les Corts Catalanes, doubles back at the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.marathons.com\/en\/events\/edreams-barcelona-half-marathon\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Arc\u00a0de\u00a0Triomf<\/a> and ventures into Poblenou along Carrer\u00a0del\u00a0Per\u00fa, with the <em>Torre\u00a0Gl\u00f2ries<\/em> on the skyline. After reaching the F\u00f2rum, the race runs for almost 4\u00a0km along the seafront (Passeig\u00a0Garcia\u00a0Faria and Avinguda\u00a0del\u00a0Litoral) before looping back to the Ciutadella. Along the way more than twenty live music stages and 650 volunteers keep spirits high. The absence of significant hills explains why this half marathon has seen record-breaking performances, including the 56:42 world record by Uganda\u2019s Jacob\u00a0Kiplimo and the 1:04:11 women\u2019s mark set by Joyciline\u00a0Jepkosgei in\u00a02025.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">A race with history and international records<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The eDreams\u00a0Mitja\u00a0Marat\u00f3\u00a0Barcelona has been held since 1990 and has grown from a local event into a world\u2011class race. In 2026 it will celebrate its 35th edition and forms part of the National Running Circuit alongside the half marathons of Seville, Madrid, San\u00a0Sebasti\u00e1n and Valencia. The event has earned the World\u00a0Athletics Gold\u00a0Label, guaranteeing high standards, safety and the participation of elite athletes. In 2025, Ugandan star Jacob\u00a0Kiplimo set a new half\u2011marathon world record in Barcelona (56\u00a0minutes\u00a042\u00a0seconds), while Kenya\u2019s Joyciline\u00a0Jepkosgei broke the women\u2019s course record with 1\u00a0hour\u00a04\u00a0minutes\u00a011\u00a0seconds. Beyond elite performances, the atmosphere is enhanced by 13 associations and more than 650 volunteers who organise 24 entertainment zones along the course. The race also offers inclusive categories, wheelchair start waves and charity bibs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Weather and how to dress<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>February provides ideal running conditions in Barcelona: the weather tends to be mild and dry. Forecasts for 15\u00a0February\u00a02026 predict a mix of sun and clouds with temperatures between 8\u00a0and\u00a014\u00a0\u00b0C; the early start may feel chilly, but by mid\u2011morning the thermometer should reach around 13\u00a0\u00b0C. To cope with these conditions, dress in layers\u2014a light thermal top and a windproof shell that you can remove after warming up. A thin beanie or headband and light gloves will protect you at the start. Don\u2019t forget to hydrate before the gun: cold air diminishes the sensation of thirst but not your body\u2019s fluid needs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Training plan and runner tips<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Planning ahead is key to enjoying the Barcelona Half Marathon. A 12\u2011week programme like Hal\u00a0Higdon\u2019s is an excellent roadmap. Such a plan combines three or four weekly runs, a long run at the weekend and strength or cross\u2011training sessions to improve overall endurance. Focus on the following:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><strong>Build a solid aerobic base:<\/strong> in the early weeks, run at a comfortable pace for 5\u00a0\u2013\u00a08\u00a0km and gradually increase your long run to 18\u00a0\u2013\u00a020\u00a0km by week\u00a011. Do these long runs 30\u00a0to\u00a090\u00a0seconds per kilometre slower than your target race pace.<\/li><li><strong>Add quality workouts:<\/strong> include tempo runs (20\u00a0to\u00a040\u00a0minutes at controlled pace) and short intervals to gain speed. In the final phase, run a couple of sessions at your planned half\u2011marathon pace to familiarise yourself with the intensity.<\/li><li><strong>Practise walk breaks and hydration:<\/strong> slowing to walk at aid stations lets you drink properly and prevents overheating. Many pacers follow this strategy, so you won\u2019t lose time.<\/li><li><strong>Work on strength and mobility:<\/strong> cross\u2011training with cycling, swimming or gym exercises builds endurance without overstressing your joints.<\/li><li><strong>Simulate the course:<\/strong> take advantage of Barcelona\u2019s seafront and urban sections to train on parts of the route. Starting from Ciutadella and running along the coast helps you understand the terrain and refine your race strategy.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Listen to your body: rest at any sign of fatigue or injury and adapt the plan to your needs. Two or three weeks before the race consider running a 10\u00a0K or 15\u00a0K to assess your fitness and fine\u2011tune your target pace.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Experience the event and explore the city<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The Barcelona Half Marathon is more than a 21\u00a0km effort. Every year thousands of residents embrace the event, creating a unique atmosphere filled with music, <em>castellers<\/em> and live performances. The day before the race you can visit the Expo\u00a0Sports fair to collect your bib, meet other runners and discover the latest gear. After crossing the finish line, take time to enjoy the city\u2019s culinary delights and landmarks such as the Sagrada\u00a0Familia, Park\u00a0G\u00fcell or Port\u00a0Vell.
