Great news for runners and fitness enthusiasts: the Sierra Blanca Estates Marbella Half Marathon will take place this year on 27th September 2026, returning with its classic seafront circuit along Marbella’s beautiful promenade.
The race, which starts and finishes near the Paseo Marítimo, follows one of the most scenic routes on the Costa del Sol. Runners head along the coastline from Marbella towards Puerto Banús, loop around the famous lighthouse, and then return along the promenade with a short detour through the Marbella Marina on the way out. It is a spectacular course that combines a lively atmosphere with Mediterranean views.
The event continues to grow every year. Last year, the Marbella Half Marathon welcomed 2,600 participants from over 70 different countries, and for 2026 the organizers are aiming for an impressive 3,000 runners on the start line.
The popularity of the race is already clear: 600 entries were sold within the first 24 hours after registration opened, an absolute record and a strong sign that the Marbella Half Marathon is becoming one of the most popular running events on the Costa del Sol.
At Boot Camp Marbella, we were proud to have a fantastic group of guests participate in last year’s race, and many of them crossed the finish line of the Sierra Blanca Estates Marbella Half Marathon with huge smiles and personal achievements to celebrate.
And of course… we’re going for it again this year!
If you feel inspired, if you have been thinking about setting a new challenge, or if you simply want to experience the incredible atmosphere of running along Marbella’s coastline, we would love for you to join the Boot Camp Marbella team at the start line.
