The Málaga Marathon 2026 (Generali Maratón de Málaga) which takes place on the 14th November 2026 has become one of the most successful long-distance running events in Spain. Following the record-breaking success of recent years, the 2026 edition continues to offer a fast, flat course that appeals to both elite athletes and recreational runners. Held annually in late autumn, it is one of two major road marathons in Andalucia, alongside the Seville Marathon.

The first edition of Estepona Marathon: there will be two running in 2026. One being a full marathon, and the other, a half marathon. Named as the 'garden' of the Costa Del Sol, these marathons will go through the main streets of Estepona, going past the traditional flower pots, to along the coastline.

Ultra Sierra Nevada is an ultra marathon of 100 kilometres in distance, involving a continuous ascent along paths and tracks from the city of Granada up to the summit of Pico Veleta, followed by a descent to Pradollan, a ski resort in the Sierre Nevada mountain range.

Seville Marathon, the third largest in Spain, with 14,000 runners taking part. It is traditionally held on the third Sunday in February. The Seville Marathon is usually very fast due to the flat course and (often) good weather. Race record is 2 hrs 04min 43 sec. The XL Zurich Marathon de Sevilla will take place on 15th February 2026.
