40th Castellón Half Marathon
40th Castellón Half Marathon
In October 1984, the streets of Castellón hosted the Castellón Half Marathon for the first time.
At that time, no one could have imagined that this race would become such an iconic event. Today, it is the oldest footrace in the province of Castellón.
It has been the Unió Atlètica de Castelló (UAC), the athletics club, that has ensured this sporting event has been held year after year, and on January 26, 2025, it will celebrate its 40th edition.
Since Isabel Fuster and Luis Adsuara won that first edition, many athletes have run through the streets of Castellón in the Castellón Half Marathon, and we must also thank them for their participation, enabling us to celebrate this special 40th edition in 2025.
Activities are already being prepared to celebrate this 40th anniversary, from now until the day of the race, and we want you to be a part of it.
Be a part of our history and participate in the 40th Castellón Half Marathon!
