Do you know what the oldest half-marathon in the world is? ๐ค Don't look in the United States, but rather in Europe ๐ช๐บ. And rather in the south of Europe, where potatoes are eaten in tortillas and where appetizers mean tapas! ๐ฎ It seems that the Elche half-marathon is therefore the oldest in the world with a birth date that goes back to 1968! ๐ณ It's certainly one of the oldest road races, no doubt about it! ๐ However, the marathon linking Elche to Alicante is not an old event as it had its very first edition in November 2025. A newborn ๐ถ in the prolific running calendar, but a promising infant! ๐ Only one distance, the best: the marathon!
