European half marathons
Europe offers some of the most exciting half marathons in the world, combining world-class organisation with unforgettable backdrops. From running past the Eiffel Tower in Paris to racing through Berlin’s historic streets or along Barcelona’s coastline, a European half marathon is as much about the experience as the distance itself.
For runners looking to combine travel with challenge, these events are ideal. Many attract international fields and provide the perfect excuse for a weekend city break, with routes that showcase iconic landmarks and lively local support. Whether you want a fast course for a new personal best or a bucket-list race in a famous city, Europe has plenty of options.
