Meridiano International Half Marathon & 10k Aguas de Alicante

UK runner here, was really struggling to get fit in time but did manage to complete the 10k, brilliant organisation, friendly faces, lovely weather, good challenging course, just loved it, and the price? In UK you'd pay twice the price and would not get the goodies here, RIP off Britain eh? Hope to be back, well done everyone who volunteered, great day!

Myself and some friends travelled from the UK to take part in the Alicante Half Marathon in 18th February 2024. It was so well organised and such good value for money. Lots of goodies and very friendly crowds on the course. There is also a 10km option that starts at the same time. I would highly recommend this race. The course is on roads and promenade but is hilly and quite steep in places so it’s not for the faint hearted but you do then enjoy the downhills! The tech t shirt was amazing and we were offered lots of gels, water, isotonic drinks on the route. I think I paid the equivalent of £17 to enter the half marathon and was astonished at the value. The weather was sunny and quite warm so need to take that into account with kit. It can feel cool at start but it soon warms up, especially towards the end of the race.

Hilly course but nice views and the route was interesting and not boring which was a welcome distraction. Don’t wear too many layers as it feels warmer than you would expect. Save a little energy for a final climb in the last mile which caught me out, but it doesn’t last too long.

Organizzazione ben strutturata, con musica ad incitare i partecipanti, punti ristoro a sufficienza maglia tecnica bellissima e calore Spagnolo senza eguali. Faccio i miei complimenti agli organizzatori.

Sicuramente è un percorso con delle salite che non permettono il best time. Comunque a me è rimasta una bellissima esperienza.

Everything was great, organization, nice road, nice weather. Thanks.

Ottima organizzazione, ottima posizione. Percorso impegnativo per le salite iniziali, dopo il 10*km tanti cambi di direzione e di ritmo. Non troppo affollata, soprattutto dopo che quelli della 10km ti lasciano. Ristoro finale migliorabile e medaglia da fare più grande (attualmente 6cm)

Miglioriamo la medaglia. Più grande

Es war ein tolles Erlebnis! Top organisiert, klasse Wetter, gute Laune bei allen. Allerdings ist die Strecke mit den vielen Steigungen wirklich anspruchsvoll. Wir kommen nächstes Jahr wieder!

Was a great run at a great location. Beautiful route. The day before they had their local Carnival, though this might have been just a coincidence. Anyway, some of the crowd (and a few runners) were still in costume. Route went by beautiful locations including historical center, plaza, beach, monuments and had only some minor slopes. Fairly well organized, though I would have liked to see more options at the support stations, it was almost exclusively water; only one stop had some gel and iso-drink. It was a fast one though I thought, 691 of the 982 participants ran between 1-2h for the half marathon.
