Choosing a road marathon in Spain
Separate the full marathon from the half
Valencia and Barcelona each have separate marathon and half-marathon guides. Check the distance, edition and official entry link together before making a booking. A half-marathon place does not provide entry to the full marathon, and a future date mentioned provisionally should not be treated as a confirmed travel date.
Match your time goal to the current entry rules
Read the organiser's current wave, qualifying and elite-entry requirements before deciding how to apply. Check whether a previous performance needs supporting evidence and whether the course information belongs to the edition you plan to run. The individual guides link to official maps and results archives so you can compare the route and field with your own target.

Where can I find past race and category results?
