Seville Marathon

The organizers call it the flattest marathon course in Europe, with only around 10 meters of total climb, and the results back them up: at the 2024 race, 17.1% of the field finished under three hours, second only to Valencia. The men's course record of 2:03:27 also dates from 2024. Its February date suits anyone who wants a spring PB without a winter of long runs in the dark: Seville averages highs around 64°F and lows near 45°F that month. Pacers cover 2:45 to 5:00. Demand has caught up with its reputation, though. All 20,000 places for the February 21, 2027, race went within 10 days, so watch for entry opening for the following year.
