Semi-Marathon de Minorque

Summer is over, yet you still crave a getaway? Don’t worry, we’ve got you covered! A slice of paradise, an accessible destination, turquoise beaches 🏖—that’s the perfect cocktail 🍹 for a magical escape... Come on, let’s not keep the suspense any longer: we reveal your next destination—the Balearic Islands and more precisely the island of Minorca for the Mitja Marató de Menorca.

Authentic and wild, on this distinctive landscape in the middle of the Spanish archipelago, a color-rich journey awaits you. This blend of blue, green, blond, and red—the island’s signature palette—will charm you without a doubt! Get ready for a genuine change of scenery. During October, when the chill starts to arrive, you’ll enjoy mild weather that will surely let you show off your legs! 🏃‍♂️

The event, open to everyone, offers a half marathon. This great distance lets you explore the Minorca’ countryside for a visit that’s not purely touristy. That’s not all—like we said, all levels can participate; a 10 km and a 4 km popular race are also offered. No matter which distance you choose, you’ll be treated to spectacular views along the course 👀, with the seaside promenade in Ciutadella as your backdrop, and the old town streets that reveal the charm of this beautiful island.

An international race that will have you running alongside participants from all over. It’s bound to be a festive atmosphere 🎉! Ciutadella also offers criques, and many monuments that reveal the city’s history. The town is one of the most beautiful on the island and its area covers a third of Minorca

Smaller than Majorca, Minorca has nothing to envy. It is the least visited of the archipelago, earning a reputation for being calm! Ideal for a more intimate escape. Between its endless beaches 🏖 lined with pines 🌲, its charm and hidden treasures, the island offers a unique setting for a change of scenery. For sightseeing, we recommend Mahón—the capital of Minorca, and one of the most beautiful towns in the Balearics 😍. The surrounding villages are worth a detour too—full of charm and shaded lanes, offering a truly paradisiacal setting. If you’re in the mood to stroll, you’ll find happiness among the many fine-sand beaches with turquoise waters 🌊. And for food lovers, regional specialties like the sobrasada, the local charcuterie, or the Ensaimada —a legendary pastry (to be enjoyed in moderation 😉)—will delight your taste buds

Vamos à Menorca! 🇪🇸
