Granada Half Marathon
Granada Half Marathon is a hilly half marathon in Granada, Spain, held each April. An evening city race that finishes with a climb through the Albayzin and the Alhambra woods. The organiser's route lists the Cuesta del Chapiz at km 16 and the Cuesta de Gomerez at km 17, before a run down to the finish. Late April evenings in Granada are usually mild and dry, around 10 to 21°C at the 19:30 start. A course as hilly as Granada Half Marathon must be trained for specifically — long-run routes should mimic its climbs and descents.
