What is the Medio Maratón València 2027
The Medio Maratón València Trinidad Alfonso Wizz Air 2027 is the 36th edition of the 21 km race organised by SD Correcaminos on Sunday, 24 October 2027, between 08:25 and 13:00, according to the municipal sports schedule. It brings together elite athletes and thousands of amateur runners from around the world, with Wizz Air as its new main sponsor.
The organisers present it as the fastest half marathon in the world: Valencia is where the two world records for the distance were broken—the women’s record by Ethiopian Letesenbet Gidey (1:02:52 in 2021) and the men’s by Yomif Kejelcha (57:30 in 2024, no longer valid). Additionally, seven of the ten best men’s times in history and the five best women’s times have been set on this course.
Recognition and circuits
The Medio Maratón València holds the World Athletics Gold Label Race status and has been recognised by the Royal Spanish Athletics Federation as the Best Half Marathon in Spain. It is part of the SuperHalfs Series, alongside Lisbon, Prague, Copenhagen, Cardiff, and Berlin, and is also included in the National Running Circuit.
How to get a bib
The Medio Maratón València 2027 offers a total of 25,000 bibs, according to its official website, with registration divided into two phases: a loyalty period and a ballot. During the loyalty phase, those who had an active registration for the 2026 edition on race day—whether they ran or not—can register, provided they did not cancel due to injury, transfer of ownership, or refund.
