Hyundai Mitja Marató Barcelona - overview
The Hyundai Mitja Marató Barcelona by Brooks is an urban half marathon with an official distance of 21,097 metres, certified by the FCA, RFEA and World Athletics. The event is organised under the coordination of Institut Barcelona Esports (Ajuntament de Barcelona) with RPM Sports as executive organiser. The edition on 14 February 2027 opened with a contingent of up to 40,000 bibs available; registrations close when the cap is reached or on 7 February 2027.
Entry is allowed only to people who are at least 18 years old on race day. The race accepts both federated and non-federated runners. A structured start system uses coloured start pens; participants must accept the pen assigned at registration unless changed before the organiser’s deadline. There is a Sub-Elite pen for athletes who can prove specific qualifying marks from certified competitions.
Race logistics include bib and chip collection at the Expo Sports venue on the days before the event, mandatory single-use timing chips placed on the shoe, and the obligation to return the chip after the race (non-return incurs a €5 charge). Medical services are located along the course and at start/finish, and aid stations are set at several kilometres with a final liquid and solid supply at the finish. Anti-doping controls apply and classifications and prizes follow the event rules; trophies go to the first three men and women in the general classification. The event defines specific categories, provisions for athletes with disabilities, rules for transfers and name changes, and a refund guarantee option available at registration under stated conditions.
