The Malaga Half Marathon (Spanish: Media Maratón de Málaga[6] or Media Maratón Ciudad de Málaga[7][a]) is an annual road-based half marathon hosted by Málaga, Spain, since 1991.[5][4][13] The marathon is a World Athletics Label Road Race.[3]

A different half marathon race, called the "Generali Malaga Half Marathon" by its organizers, is held concurrently with the Malaga Marathon, which is generally scheduled later in the year.[14][15]: 6 

History

The inaugural event was held on 2 June 1991.[5] A total of 312 people took part in the half marathon, which was won by Portuguese runner Fernando Fernández and Spanish runner Carmen Mingorance, with finish times of 1:03:25 and 1:16:17, respectively.[5][4]

The 30th edition of the race, originally scheduled for 22 March 2020, was postponed to 7 November 2021 due to the coronavirus pandemic.[16][17][6][18] The race was held in November again for 2022, and then in October for 2023, before it was moved back to March for 2024.[4][19][12][20]

The half marathon is held on a largely out-and-back course that runs near the coastline in a northeasterly direction before following it back southwest.[22] There is a short out-and-back leg between the 7 and 10 km (4 and 6 mi) marks where the course dips south to run on the peninsula where the Málaga Lighthouse [es] sits.[22] The course begins just south of the Estadio Ciudad de Málaga and finishes inside the stadium.[22]

Notes

  1. ^ In Spanish, the race has also been spelt "Medio Maratón de Málaga"[8] or "Medio Maratón Ciudad de Málaga",[9] and has also been stylized "1/2 Maratón de Málaga".[10][11] For sponsorship reasons, the race is also known as the "TotalEnergies Malaga Half Marathon".[12]
