While the annual Barcelona marathon is better known, the Barcelona half marathon is perhaps more appealing as the route distance is a more manageable 21.097 kilometres. The course takes place along some of Barcelona’s more iconic streets and landmarks. The chance to run through the Arc de Triomf, down Las Ramblas and the harbour is a rewarding experience as well as the charity yield raised by the participants. Even when you are not taking part in this event, come down to a part of the route and cheer for the participants as they may need your support and enjoy this great event.
