The Medio Maratón de Sevilla is a road half marathon in Seville, organised by the Club de Atletismo San Pablo and Create Deportes with the collaboration of Seville City Council. The race was traditionally run in January, but the city moved it to the end of the year from 2026. Its 32nd edition was first set for 29 November 2026 and was then moved to Sunday 13 December 2026 because Spain called a general election for 29 November. In the January 2026 edition the race started at 09:00 and started and finished on Paseo de las Delicias at the Glorieta de Buenos Aires. That course headed first towards La Palmera and passed Paseo Colón, the Ronda de Capuchinos, Plaza Nueva, La Encarnación, Puerta de Jerez and the Arco de la Macarena. The organisers call it the flattest half marathon in Europe, with only 5 metres between its lowest and highest points. For December 2026, 24,500 runners registered, the biggest field in the race's history. The course records are 59:02 for men, set by Sebastian Kimaru in 2022, and 1:06:33 for women, set by Zeineba Yimer Worku in 2026.

In February 2022 Kenya's Sebastian Kimaru ran 59:02, the first time anyone ran under an hour at the Seville half marathon. He took the pace-making role until 10 km, which he passed in 27:44, and then pulled away. The previous record was 1:00:44 by Italy's Eyob Faniel.
The Seville City Council moved the half marathon from January to November for 2026, to leave about two months between it and both the Nocturna del Guadalquivir and the Seville Marathon. On 5 October 2026, after Spain's prime minister called a general election for 29 November, the date moved again, to 13 December. Entrants kept their bibs or could transfer to the 2027, 2028 or 2029 edition.
