The course
The half marathon of the Generali Maratón Málaga weekend, run on the same morning as the marathon. It starts on the Paseo del Parque in front of the University of Málaga's Rectorado and finishes nearby on Avenida Cánovas del Castillo, at the east end of the park. The 2026 course is new, and the organisers describe it as faster and flatter than before, with fewer bends. Most of the race runs through the city and along the seafront. Route map and elevation profile below.
A flat course: 12 m between the lowest and highest point.
