Half Marathon Ciudad de Palma Mallorca (Mitja Marató Ciutat de Palma) and the 10K Port de Palma are confirmed for Sunday, March 22, 2026 in Palma de Mallorca, Spain, with both races starting and finishing at Parc de la Mar in front of Palma Cathedral (La Seu). With a flat, fast coastal route through Palma’s waterfront and historic center, it’s one of the best spring race-cations in Europe for runners who want sea views, city culture, and an island weekend all in one.
Mallorca's City Race Weekend: Half Marathon Ciudad de Palma 2026
This event is officially titled XXXIII Mallorca 1/2 Maraton Ciudad de Palma and XIV Mallorca 10 Kms Port de Palma, showing it’s a long-running annual tradition with serious local support. Elitechip’s event page confirms it’s organized under the Federació d’Atletisme de les Illes Balears listing and framed as a major Palma road running event. For travelers, the appeal is immediate: you’re racing in the heart of Palma, steps from the cathedral and sea, on a course designed for speed and sightseeing at the same time.
Mallorca in late March is also a sweet spot. It’s typically calmer than summer, yet lively enough to enjoy terraces, waterfront walks, and day trips around the island after your race.
Key Dates and Start Times
Elitechip confirms both races take place on 22-03-2026, with the 10K starting at 09:00 and the half marathon starting at 10:00. The official distances are also confirmed:
- Half Marathon: 21.097,50 meters (21.097 km).
- 10K: 10,000 meters.
These start times make it easy to plan a relaxed race morning, especially if you’re staying in central Palma and can walk to the start area.
Race Location: Start and Finish at Parc de la Mar
Palma Cathedral Views Guaranteed
Elitechip confirms the start and finish location as Parc de la Mar de Palma, directly in front of the Cathedral. The downloadable race document repeats the same: start and finish are “in the center of Parc de la Mar, in front of the Cathedral of Palma.” This is a huge travel advantage because the event is set in one of Palma’s most iconic photo locations, meaning:
- Your race photos naturally include Mallorca’s most recognizable landmark.
- Friends and family can spectate easily in a central, scenic area.
- Post-race exploring starts immediately, because you’re already in the historic core.
Course Highlights: Flat, Fast, and Scenic
Sea Views and Palma's Vibrant City Center
The official race info describes the circuit as Paseo Marítimo, Paseo Sagrera, Autovía de Levante and the center of Palma, and it emphasizes the course is totally flat, on asphalt, and closed to traffic. That combination is ideal if you want:
- A personal best attempt.
- A comfortable first half marathon.
- A scenic “run and enjoy” pace with coastline views.
Because the course passes through Palma’s waterfront areas, you get that Mediterranean “sea breeze” feeling for large parts of the run, which is exactly what makes Mallorca races so memorable.
Runner Services and Amenities
Refreshments, Finisher Items, and More
The official race document states refreshment stations are provided about every 5 km with water, and at the finish area runners receive fruit, water, and refreshment drinks. It also confirms:
- A gift bag for all registered athletes.
- Wardrobe service and a medal for all finishers.
These practical details matter for travel runners because they reduce what you need to carry and help you plan your post-race transition to brunch or sightseeing.
Registration Information
Deadlines and Bib Pickup
Elitechip confirms that online inscriptions run until 18/03/2026, and it also shows an “inscription closure” date in the downloadable document as 18/03/2026. The same sources note that late registrations may be accepted only if the organization has availability and only during bib pickup.
Bib Pickup Location and Hours
El Corte Inglés Department Store
Both Elitechip and the downloadable race document confirm bib pickup (start number outgiving) takes place at El Corte Inglés department store in Palma (Av. Alexandre Rosselló / Alejandro Rosselló, 12–16, 7th floor near the cafeteria). Verified pickup hours include:
- Thursday 19.03.2026: 16:00–21:00.
- Friday 20.03.2026: 10:00–21:00.
- The PDF also lists Saturday pickup at 10:00–21:00 (note: the PDF text shows “Saturday: 21.03.2025,” which appears to be a typo in the document, but Saturday pickup is clearly intended as part of the pickup schedule surrounding March 22, 2026).
If you’re flying in from abroad, this pickup schedule is a gift. You can arrive Thursday or Friday, pick up your bib without rushing, and enjoy Palma calmly before race day.
Tickets and Pricing
Entry Fees for 2026 (Tiered Pricing)
The downloadable official document lists tiered entry fees (for athletes with a yellow chip from the ChampionChip system), with prices increasing as the event approaches. Verified fee ranges include:
- Half Marathon: €20 to €35, depending on the registration period, plus out-of-term pricing listed at €35.
- 10K: €14 to €27, depending on the registration period, plus out-of-term pricing listed at €27.
The same document confirms that athletes who do not have the yellow ChampionChip chip must pay a €2 supplement. This is an important detail for international runners who may not already have the local chip system.
Make it a Mallorca Race-cation
What to Do Before and After the Race
Because the start and finish are at Parc de la Mar near the cathedral, it’s easy to build a Palma-focused weekend:
- Pre-race day: explore the old town lanes and waterfront promenades.
- Race morning: start at Parc de la Mar, finish with cathedral views.
- Post-race: enjoy a long lunch, then a relaxed walk through central Palma.
If you add one extra day, it’s also worth exploring beyond Palma. Mallorca’s coastal scenery, viewpoints, and villages are a big part of what makes racing here feel like a true island trip rather than only a sports event.
