Tarragona crowns its half marathon and 10K winners

The 35th Half Marathon and the 10K Ciutat de Tarragona took place on Sunday 8 November 2026 in Tarragona, with entries sold out and four winners. Òscar Montserrat Aguiló and Carla Gonzàlez Carrillo won the longer race; Alejandro Baceiredo Ramos and Magdala Navarro Díez set the fastest times in the 10K.

Both races started at 9:00 on calle Torres Jordi, where the finish was also located, in front of the municipal sports complex in Parte Baja and Serrallo. Mario Soler, Tarragona City Council’s councillor for sport and sports tourism, started both races.

Two distances through the streets of Tarragona

The Tarragona Half Marathon 2026 covered 21.1 kilometres over two laps, while the other race covered 10 kilometres. The City Council organised the event through Tarragona Esports.

The undulating urban course passed through Plaça Imperial Tàrraco and Rambla Nova, as well as running alongside the Roman amphitheatre, the Pretori and the Circ. The route continued along Via Augusta and passeig Rafael Casanova, with sections alongside Arrabassada and Miracle beaches.
