The half marathon is held on a largely out-and-back course that runs near the coastline in a northeasterly direction before following it back southwest. [22] There is a short out-and-back leg between the 7 and 10 km (4 and 6 mi) marks where the course dips south to run on the peninsula where the Málaga Lighthouse sits. [22] The course begins just south of the Estadio Ciudad de Málaga and finishes inside the stadium. [22]
