About this race
Forget the clubs — Ibiza in April is all about the running. This is one of Spain's most scenic road races.
The race
The Ibiza Half Marathon is the island's flagship running event, starting in San Josep and finishing in Figueretas (Ibiza Town). The event starts late afternoon which means finishing in the sunset, adding to the atmosphere.
The course
Winding through pine forests, open countryside and catching some stunning coastal views, you are taken by coach to the start up a steep mountain road. The first 8K features sweeping downhill stretches and amazing views before heading on the flat into town and a fantastic finish on the seafront.
