The sporting and tourism event, which covers the 21K and 10K distances and will take place on November 22, continues to see growth in participation

The last edition of the 2024 Benidorm Half concluded with 6,500 runners. For the 2025 event, which will take place on November 22, that registration rate has been substantially exceeded. In fact, the 8,000-runner mark has already been surpassed. And the option to participate in this major event, which runs through Benidorm over the 21K and 10K distances, will remain open until November 16th, when the organizer, Tour-Sport Promociones Deportivas, will close the registration period.

The Benidorm Half 2025 is no longer just different from the previous edition with an additional 1,500 runners, a figure that is sure to continue to grow over the next three weeks. It is also growing in terms of foreign participation. This is further underscored by a very revealing fact: of the total, 48.7% are of British origin and residence.

Regarding the participants in the Half Marathon, to date, there are more than 4,100 runners; in the case of the 10K, the figure rises to 3,895.

The course will be approved for both distances, and it’s worth noting that the race is included in the national calendar of the Royal Spanish Athletics Federation (RFEA). The 21K (21,097 meters) and 10K (10,000 meters) will start at Av. Comunidad Valenciana (corner of Calle Bélgica) and finish at Plaza de SS.MM los Reyes de España, 1, Benidorm (City Hall). As in the last two editions, the Benidorm Half, organized by Tour-Sport Promociones Deportivas, will feature recreational runners and will also continue to focus on the presence of elite athletes.

The Benidorm Half is organized by Tour-Sport Promociones Deportivas and in 2025 will have the institutional support of Benidorm City Council and Visit Benidorm, while private sponsors include Meliá Benidorm, Olympikus, Sprinter, Coca-Cola, and Sala Marina. More information at: www.benidormhalf.com

The Alicante-based sports brand joins as an official sponsor of one of the most iconic races on the national and international calendar, which will take place on November 22nd

The Benidorm Half & 21K organizers have reached a sponsorship agreement with Sprinter, a leading sportswear and equipment brand, which celebrates its 30th anniversary in 2025. This agreement consolidates the relationship between two leading sports figures in the province of Alicante and makes Sprinter the official sponsor of the 2025 edition of the Benidorm Half Marathon and 10K, which will take place on November 22nd.

“We are very pleased to add Sprinter to the Benidorm Half Marathon family, especially in such a symbolic year for the company. Having a brand born in our province and now a national benchmark in sports is a great boost for the race,” highlights Fernando Brotons, race director and CEO of Tour-Sport Promociones Deportivas.

“Sprinter perfectly represents the values ​​we want to convey: passion for sport, closeness, and community spirit. Their involvement will enhance the experience for both runners and spectators,” adds Brotons.

For Sprinter, the agreement is part of a year of celebrations and brand expansion, reaffirming its commitment to running and the sports community.

“The Benidorm Half is a perfect event to connect with our community in a unique and intimate setting. We want both runners and the public to experience running from the inside and enjoy an unforgettable day of sport and celebration with Sprinter,” explains Sara Ribeiro, Sprinter’s Global Brand Manager.

“Furthermore, through initiatives such as the Sprinter Run Clubs, which we recently launched in Valencia and Barcelona, ​​we continue to strengthen our commitment to running and to being increasingly closer to the community, supporting runners not only at major events but also in their training and progress,” she emphasizes.

Under the slogan “We put kilometers into the cold,” Sprinter encourages its sports community to continue enjoying running during the coldest months of the year, embracing the philosophy of the Benidorm Half: experiencing sport as an experience, enjoyment, and achievement.

The Benidorm Half 2025 will feature, as usual, two distances approved by the Royal Spanish Athletics Federation: a 10K and a 21K. The route will traverse the city’s most emblematic locations, including the historic center and its iconic seafront promenade.

Organized by Tour-Sport Promociones Deportivas, the Benidorm Half has experienced significant growth in recent years, establishing itself as a benchmark event on the national and international calendar of popular races.
