First held on January 28, 1996, it has been taking place uninterruptedly and reaches its 25th edition. The event emerged under the name Isla de la Cartuja Half Marathon with the idea of filling the popular running calendar with a longer distance than fun runs, acting as a bridge toward the Seville Marathon. We recall the words of the promoters during the first press conference as a statement of intent that still remains valid today: “we aim for it to become a race of Seville“

In 2016 it was renamed Seville Half Marathon, changing part of its course through the Cartuja area and Alamillo Park to run through the heart of the city. Over the years it has gained prestige and quality. Today we see how it has become a highly popular event, included in the national RFEA calendar and with nearly 10,000 participants. It is a fixed race on the schedule of many runners at both national and international level.

Its organization requires a large-scale project that Atletismo San Pablo develops over six months with institutional and corporate support. It would not be possible without the more than four hundred volunteers who give their free time and enthusiasm to ensure everything goes well.
