The Hyundai Mitja Marató Barcelona by Brooks is the Barcelona half marathon, held on a Sunday in mid-February, a month before the city's marathon. It was first held in 1991 and the 2027 race on 14 February is billed as the 37th edition. It starts at 8:30 on Passeig de Picasso, next to the Parc de la Ciutadella, and runs down to the Columbus monument, through Poblenou and along the coast towards the Fòrum, with the finish on Passeig de Pujades between Carrer de Nàpols and Carrer de Wellington. The organisers describe the flat route as the fastest half marathon course in the world. Runners have 2 hours 45 minutes to finish. In 2026 the race reached 36,000 participants, and registration for 2027 opened with 40,000 bibs. The men's course record is 56:42, run by Jacob Kiplimo in 2025, a time World Athletics did not ratify as a world record. The women's record is 1:04:13, set by Joyciline Jepkosgei in 2025.

The Race
Barcelona
Three world records have been set at the Barcelona half marathon. Florence Kiplagat ran 1:05:12 in 2014 and 1:05:09 a year later. On 16 February 2025 Jacob Kiplimo ran 56:42, but on 5 February 2026 World Athletics said it would not ratify the time because the lead car had given him a pacing advantage. Hagos Gebrhiwet won the 2026 race in 58:05.
