The organization of the Benidorm Half 2025, in collaboration with Visit Benidorm, will be at The National Running Show Birmingham, in the United Kingdom, on January 25 and 26. A large number of runners from British lands participate in each edition of the Benidorm Half Marathon.

The latest proof of this is in the opening of registrations for the Benidorm competition for 2025, on November 22, since of the 2,000 tickets purchased in the first 24 hours, 1,108 were from residents of the United Kingdom.

Benidorm Half and Visit Benidorm, located at stand M49, will be able to explain the benefits of both the city of tourism par excellence and its sports offer, in this case focused on running. Thus, The National Running Show Birmingham is the perfect place for such an objective.

With thousands of visitors, the biggest runners gathering of the year is held at the perfect time for them to plan their annual running calendar, learn about the latest trends from sports brands, listen to inspiring speakers and learn about cutting-edge technologies and the best in nutrition, all under one roof.

The expectations that were had regarding those first 24 hours have been more than met. And the numbers for a great race are being considered. The Benidorm Half grows year after year. Of course, this means that the organization is working to improve the experience of the runners with each edition,” say the race directors Fernando Brotons and Daniel Artíguez.

“The organization was very satisfied with the 2024 edition. But from the day after the race we started thinking and working towards the 2025 edition, which will be on November 22. As always, we try to prepare the best possible experience for the runners in the Benidorm Half, both in the 21K and the 10K, for the citizens, who we hope will become increasingly involved in the event, and for all the collaborating institutions and brands,” explain Fernando Brotons and Daniel Artíguez, race directors and CEOs of Tour-Sport Promociones Deportivas.

“A new participation record was set in 2024, with the arrival of 6,500 runners from 25 different countries, and with a very notable fact being the fact that 43.1% came to Spain from a specific country, the United Kingdom. For the 2025 edition, we hope that the number of entrants will continue to grow, which already places us with a label of a great race; and that we can continue to maintain the general commitment to how this event is understood, which has already been held for three editions with elite figures,” they point out.
