The Sevilla Half Marathon returned for a second time this year, as it moves its usual January date to November. The autumn debut of the 21-kilometer race in Seville has been affected by the election advance announced today by Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez. Ultimately, the Sevilla Half Marathon will take place on Sunday, December 13, 2026. This is the organization’s full statement:
“In the last hours, the advance of the General Elections has been made public, whose celebration coincides with the date initially planned for the Sevilla Half Marathon.
Ante esta circunstancia, totalmente ajena a la organización de la prueba, y tras las conversaciones mantenidas con el Ayuntamiento de Sevilla, queremos comunicarte que la próxima edición del Medio Maratón de Sevilla se celebrará finalmente el domingo 13 de diciembre de 2026.
We are aware that this date change may cause inconveniences to some of our participants, and we sincerely regret the troubles that this exceptional situation may generate. It is a necessary decision arising from an unforeseen circumstance and unrelated to the organization, with the aim of ensuring the proper development of the event and maintaining all the conditions required to enjoy our Half Marathon.
Your bib still holds validity
If you are already registered, you do not need to take any action. Your registration and your bib will remain valid for the new date of December 13, 2026.
Can’t participate on December 13?
Given this exceptional date change, if the new date does not allow you to participate, we have enabled the possibility to transfer your bib to one of the next three editions of the Sevilla Half Marathon, with options for the editions planned for November 2027, November 2028 or November 2029.
The request can be made until October 20, 2026, through your Runner’s Private Area accessible from your registration confirmation email. If you don’t have it handy, you can request that it be resent via this link:
This option is enabled exceptionally due to the date change and will be available only within the indicated timeframe.
If this option does not suit your situation, the conditions set forth in the Official Regulations of the event regarding entry refunds and their corresponding deadlines remain in force.
We greatly appreciate your understanding in the face of an extraordinary circumstance affecting us all, and, especially, your trust and support for the Sevilla Half Marathon.
Our aim is that, despite this unforeseen change, we can once again meet in the streets of Seville and enjoy together a new edition of our race.
See you on December 13.
