Do you dream of running in the footsteps of a demi-god? 🏛️

Nice timing! The next city that will host you is in the Cádiz province, which, according to legend, was founded by Hercules 💪. And yes! It’s in Chiclana de la Frontera that your next half-marathon 💨 takes place. So if you, too, dream of finishing 12 travaux 21 kilometers, heading to Andalusia in April 🌸.

Did you know? In the 12Labors of Hercules it mentions “finishing a half-marathon in Chiclana” 🏃. Obviously, that’s false ❌. But why not write your own story? ✍️ What makes this event unique is its dreamlike course 🤩. You’ll run in a idyllic setting between town and nature 🌴 starting from the port of Sancti Petri 🛥️, a small paradise by the Atlantic Ocean 🌊. From the first kilometers, you’ll run along the Sancti Petri Beach 🏝️. On your right, the ocean stretches out with, in the distance, perched on its rock, the mysterious Sancti Petri Castle 🏰, relic of an old military fortress 🪖. On your left, luxury hotels line the Chiclana coastline 🏨, and that’s only the beginning. You’ll continue along the La Barrosa BeachMichelin Green Guideas one of the most beautiful beaches in Andalusia 😍. Flat, open, rolling: it’s the perfect moment to set your pace and aim for your new personal best 💥. Moreover, the April weather conditions are ideal: mild, dry, with just the right amount of wind to avoid overheating 🥵. At the sixth kilometer, you leave the coast to enter the luxurious world of the Novo Sancti Petri. You then venture onto the Golf Club Real Novo Sancti Petri, designed by the legendary Severiano Ballesteros ⛳️. Attention, green in sight! 🏌️‍♀️ Then a change of mood: you leave the chic hotel world for the direction of the Parc naturel de la baie de Cadix, where the salinas de Chiclana and their blend of white and pink 🦩 await you. Trust us, you’ll definitely need a calming backdrop to steady your exhausted heart during the final kilometers 🧘.

Save some energy to explore this region ⚡️. Chiclana has white-washed streets and historic buildings like the San Juan Bautista Church, the Hermitage of Santa Ana and the Tower of the Clock ⛪️. The town sits on the route of the Wine Route 🍷: heading to the Wine and Salt Interpretation Centre in the heart of town 🏙️. If you’d rather unwind, the largest hammam in Andalusia awaits you at the Novo Sancti 🧖. Finally, if your heart still beats to the rhythm of castanets 🫀, know that two hours by car away, the Seville Feria will be in full swing that weekend 📍. Flamenco, traditional costumes, horses and tapas galore await you 🎉.
