The Mallorca Half Marathon takes runners along the Mediterranean coastline in Palma de Mallorca, offering a scenic route beside the sea and the city’s waterfront promenades. The race typically starts near the Palma waterfront and follows long stretches of coastal roads that run alongside the harbor and marina areas. The race follows the wide seafront road that traces Palma’s bay, giving participants extended sections along the coastline before turning back toward the city. The terrain is mostly flat, making it well suited for maintaining a steady pace. Long straight stretches beside the water provide clear sightlines and consistent pacing, while the wide coastal roads offer ample running space for participants. The race finishes back near the waterfront.

Pro tips

Racing it

01
No Hill to Save For
There's only about 70 m of climbing spread across the whole half marathon, so nothing on this course needs conserving energy for. Settle into goal pace early and hold even splits.
From the elevation profile
02
Learn the Out-and-Back
The course runs out and back along the bay, so the second half retraces the first. Take note of landmarks on the way out — the return leg can feel longer than it looks.

03
Run the Straights in Chunks
Long straight stretches beside the water give clear sightlines, so pick a landmark ahead and run to it instead of staring at your watch. Short targets keep the flat kilometers from dragging.

04
Use the Wide Seafront
The coastal road is wide, so don't get boxed in during the crowded early kilometers along the harbor and marina. There's space to find your own rhythm and pace.

05
Recognize the Finish
Both the start and finish sit near the Palma waterfront, so the closing kilometers follow promenades you already ran at the beginning. Use that familiarity to judge your final effort.

In Palma

Walk the Seafront
Race-day closures along the bay make walking the easiest way to reach the course. Staying near the center or the Passeig Marítim keeps everything within a stroll.
Where to Watch
The waterfront promenade and Parc de la Mar by the cathedral are the natural viewing spots, with open views along the bay as runners pass in both directions.
After the Finish
Palma lives outdoors along its bay, so recovery here means a slow wander through the old town and Santa Catalina, with the city beach a short walk from the waterfront.
