Cristian Llorens, Director of Assets at RPM Sports, highlighted:
“The Hyundai Mitja Marató Barcelona by Brooks can proudly claim to be the perfect race: the fastest course in the world, where every runner can test themselves against the clock, and at the same time a true celebration in every sense, where enjoyment is more than guaranteed.
At the Zurich Marató de Barcelona, we continue to focus on delivering a truly unique experience, with a course that, in terms of performances, ranks among the three fastest in the world, and a city fully committed to the event, creating a magical atmosphere throughout the entire route that pushes you forward with every step until the finish line.”
Hyundai Mitja Marató Barcelona by Brooks: a true celebration of running
The Hyundai Mitja Marató Barcelona by Brooks will return in 2027, consolidated as the fastest half marathon course in the world. Its flat, performance-oriented route makes Barcelona the ideal setting for runners looking to achieve a personal best and compete at the highest level.
Here, the goal is clear: to go for the best possible time. But the Mitja is much more than speed. It is an experience that combines sporting excellence with celebration, positioning itself as one of the most festive half marathons on the international calendar. More than 25 entertainment points, music, DJs, and thousands of people filling the streets turn every kilometer into a shared space between athletes and the city.
And after the finish line, the experience continues. PaRUNda by Brooks, the official post-race celebration held at Poble Espanyol, has become the perfect closing of the day: a space where runners and companions share the euphoria of effort with live music, DJ sets, food options, and brand activations.
The Hyundai Mitja Marató Barcelona by Brooks will return in 2027 after delivering one of the most spectacular editions in its history. In 2026, the race reached 36,000 participants, consolidating itself as one of the largest and most festive half marathons in Europe.
Zurich Marató de Barcelona: emotion and history written on the asphalt
One month after the Mitja, the city will once again transform to host the 42K with the Zurich Marató de Barcelona, which will celebrate its 48th edition in 2027 following a historic year that has placed it among the world’s major marathons.
The 2026 edition confirmed the potential of the Barcelona course, ranking the race as the third fastest marathon in history, only behind Chicago and Berlin, based on combined men’s and women’s results.
This positioning reinforces Barcelona as a benchmark course for performance, both for elite athletes and for amateur runners seeking their best result over 42K.
In addition, a city fully committed to the event contributes 47 entertainment points and thousands of spectators supporting every kilometer, generating a unique atmosphere in which effort turns into shared emotion. In 2026, the race brought together 32,000 runners, with 63% international participation, consolidating its global projection and ongoing growth.
Barcelona now has dates for its two major running events in 2027, with a clear objective: to continue raising the sporting level, improve the runner experience, and strengthen its position as one of the world’s leading sports capitals.
