The El Puerto Half Marathon already has 3,006 runners registered for the 4,000 planned places. Of these, 3,000 are for the 21.097-metre race and 1,000 for the first edition of the 10k El Puerto, a ten-kilometre race that shares part of the route with the half marathon and starts at the same time. The event will be on January 31, 2027.
The change of date, which moves the race from May to January, is behind this increase in participants, according to the councillors for Sports, Alejandro Galán, and Youth, José Ignacio González Nieto. Both presented the commemorative T-shirt at the Centro Comercial El Paseo, which is given in the runner's bag. It is a unisex garment from the brand 42krunning, in a tank top or short-sleeve version, with the city crest and the colours green, yellow, blue and white.
Two races and one same start
The Half Marathon is run on asphalt with traffic closed. The organisation has planned starting pens by estimated time, pacers for 1h30, 1h45 and 2h00 and aid stations at kilometres 5, 10, 15, 18 and at the finish line. The 10k, designed as a more accessible distance, will have 40 and 50-minute pacers and an aid station at kilometre 5 and at the finish line.
The start and finish will be at the Centro Comercial El Paseo. There will be men's and women's classifications by year of birth in both races, from the senior A category (18 to 23 years old) to the master E category (70 years old and over), with age as of the day of the race. The rules include trophies for the first three in the overall standings and in each category, and for the first local runner.
