eDreams Mitja Marató Barcelona by Brooks

The 35th eDreams Mitja Marató Barcelona by Brooks has more than 15,000 runners with six months before the race. Barcelona’s half marathon has reached the best number of registered participants in its history, with half a year to go until the next edition is held. 4 reasons to run the eDreams Mitja Marató Barcelona by Brooks. The eDreams Mitja Marató Barcelona by Brooks will celebrate its 35th edition in search of course and participation records. Therefore, for those who have not yet registered, here are four good reasons to do it: The most popular half-marathon in Spain - With 28,000 numbers sold out and more than 5,000 runners on the waiting list for 2024, the Barcelona Half Marathon has become the 21.095-kilometre race with the most participants in Spain and the second largest in Europe. A great running festival that no one, local or international, wants to miss. A young and dynamic atmosphere - In 2024, more than 60% of runners in the eDreams Mitja Marató Barcelona by Brooks were between 20 and 40 years old. An age range that is the figure that best represents the young and dynamic atmosphere of the Barcelona half-marathon. It is also an ideal race for those who want to run for the first time over this distance or to prepare for a marathon. In addition, 40% of the runners were international, coming from up to 98 different nationalities. The fastest half-marathon - In this year’s edition, the Kenyan athlete Joyciline Jepkosgei has set the women’s record of the race in 01:04:29h. A time that, for the moment, is also the best world time for this distance in 2024. A milestone that revalidates the eDreams Mitja Marató Barcelona by Brooks as the fastest half-marathon this year, as in 2023 it also obtained the fastest female half-marathon record of 2023 with Irine Jepchumba’s time (01:04:37h). Barcelona, one of the world’s most diverse cities - The values of the eDreams Mitja Marató Barcelona by Brooks are in tune with those of the city in which it is held. Multiculturalism, inclusivity and a good atmosphere are hallmarks of the city that are also present in its marathon. For this reason, More than Just a Race is the new concept under which the campaigns of the Zurich Marató Barcelona and the eDreams Mitja Marató Barcelona by Brooks are framed, inspired by the atmosphere and the animation that takes place during the weekend of both races.
