Seville Half Marathon
Seville Half Marathon is a flat half marathon in Seville, Spain, held each November or December. A single loop that follows the Guadalquivir for about 4 km, crosses to the far bank and returns through the city streets. A listing records only 26 m of climbing over the whole distance. Cool and mostly dry in late November to mid December, around 6 to 17°C. On a course as flat as Seville Half Marathon, even splits are everything; the classic mistake is banking time in the first third.
