The 2026 event has sold out!

Please note, the 2026 Barcelona Half Marathon has now sold out, so the details below are regarding the 2027 event. Make sure to register your interest and we will be in touch as soon as you can sign up to be part of Team Marsden in 2027.

How to take part

Registration

Registration is £25 per person and we ask each participant to reach a minimum fundraising target of £350

Once you’ve signed up, you’ll be added to the official event console to claim your charity place with the event organisers. You will be sent a separate link via email and will need to complete this to secure your place. After you’ve completed both steps, you’ll be all set to lace up your trainers and get running.

Training and fundraising support

Once you’ve signed up, you’ll receive one to one support from a dedicated member of the charity team to help you with your fundraising efforts and to answer any questions you may have as you prepare for the big day.

You’ll also have access to our professional half marathon training plans to encourage you to start logging those miles. Whether it’s your first big race or you’re a seasoned runner, our plans will help structure your training to make sure you are ready for the challenge.

When you register, you will also be able to join our Team Marsden Runners Facebook group. Our fun, friendly and supportive online community will be there to support you all the way, share top tips and advice and keep you motivated in the run up to the event.

Already got your own place?

Have you got your own place on this event but still want to be part of Team Marsden and raise money to help people with cancer here and across the world? Just get in touch and let us know.

The Barcelona Half Marathon Route

  1. Start at Parc de la Ciutadella and  head straight toward the sea-front.
  2. Race along waterfront streets toward the Columbus Monument and then up to Avinguda del Parallel
  3. Continue onto Gran Via de les Corts Catalanes and move through Barcelona’s urban centre.
  4. Sprint toward Avinguda Diagonal where the route takes you out near modern neighbourhoods and the city’s eastern edge.
  5. The final stretch is parallel to the Mediterranean shoreline where you'll finish back where you began to take in the cheering crowds and views.
