Ready to conquer the asphalt? ๐ฅ The Terrassa International Half Marathon (Barcelona) is only waiting for you! Take the start right in the heart โค๏ธ of Catalonia and through its lively streets ๐ช . Whether you choose the popular Santi Centelles race of 5 km for a quick challenge or opt for the half marathon, this city nestled near the Catalan capital: Barcelona, will give you a memorable experience surrounded by run enthusiasts ๐ (like you), during an event with an international dimension ๐. That's impressive! ๐ Plus, when it comes to accessibility, you're all set: the start line is 50 m from the "Vallรจs" metro line ๐, which connects Terrassa directly to Barcelona. Perfect to get to the race quickly ๐.
Terrassa? It's a charming little town ๐ฅฐ located next to the second largest metropolis in Spain ๐ช๐ธ. Land in the month of February โ๏ธ and discover its picturesque neighborhoods, while treading the Barcelona suburbs... The Barcelona Terrassa International Half Marathon is a 100% urban race that welcomes runners from all backgrounds every year! ๐ฒ Yes indeed, this race has also seen quite a few big names go by. It often serves as a pre-season race for elites โก๏ธ. But what could be more logical? Come on, we'll give you the secret of this much-loved race... The weather and the Spanish sun, of course! ๐คซ Yes, we told you it was in February, but don't panic, in Spain the sun shines all year round : a real tre-at ๐. Speaking of treats, we're hearing in our earpiece that it will go much further than your strides... With the Catalans, they know how to treat themselves and bite into life tapas with gusto ๐. At your aid stations you'll find good energy bars, to refuel before setting off again! โก๏ธ
After crossing the finish line ๐, take the time to discover the wonders of the region. Less than an hour by car ๐, explore vibrant Barcelona and its iconic ramblas or be dazzled by the majestic Sagrada Familia ๐๏ธ. For your legs that will have worked hard ๐ฆต, we recommend relaxing in the thermal baths of Caldes de Monbuit ๐ฆ, a few minutes by car from Terrassa ๐. These baths date back to Antiquity and are world-famous for their therapeutic benefits... It would be silly to miss out, wouldn't it? ๐ To keep working out, this time let's focus on the brain ๐ง : go visit the Museum of Science and Technology of Catalonia to learn more and more and swell that runner's head ๐ค. And if you're a history buff, don't miss a visit to the famous Monastery of Sant Cugat โช๏ธ located nearby. Want some nature to reconnect with the essentials at the end of your stay? The Sant Llorenรง natural park won't disappoint you with its breathtaking landscapes ๐จ.
Vale! Let the adventure begin and may every stride bring you closer to your PB! ๐
A word from the organizer:
"An incredible city just 30 minutes from Barcelona. A place that is just waiting to be discovered!"
Vale! A half marathon in a single loop ๐ is a great challenge, isn't it? Come on, let's go! ๐
You start on the Rambla d'รgara and head to the north โฌ๏ธ of the city to reach the Museum of Science and Technology of Catalonia! Once you get there, you keep going until you run alongside the reira Del Palau ๐ง for a bit of freshness. Then take the Avenue de l'Abat Marcet. Here you're going to have a blast: this is where you meet the gentle downhill slope... ๐ But be careful to save some energy for the rest of the race! โ ๏ธ Yes indeed, the race doesn't end there, my little friend. Once you reach the end of the avenue, run along the riera de les Arenes watercourse, cross the Vallparadis garden ๐ณ and climb back up to the Placeta de la Creu โฒ๏ธ to get back to where you started. And there you go, job done ๐คช.
Get ready for an explosive 5 km! ๐ You start on the Rambla d'รgara heading north โฌ๏ธ through the city to reach the Passeig del Vint-i-dos de Juliol. Here, you'll turn starboard โก๏ธ all the way to the Vallparadis garden ๐ณ. Turn around, retrace your steps, and finish where it all began ๐.
