Málaga Half Marathon
Málaga Half Marathon is a flat half marathon in Málaga, Spain, held each March. A loop along the seafront from Paseo del Parque, with turnarounds near the cruise terminal and out on the Paseo Marítimo. An elevation listing gives about 85 m of climbing, and the course has few turns. Mild and mostly dry in early March, around 9 to 19°C. Flat courses like Málaga's reward metronomic pacing — the danger is going out faster than goal pace because it feels cheap early.
