What?
The Asics Mitja Marató de Barcelona is an half marathon taking place in the Catalan capital.

Where?
The half marathon run takes place in the city centre of Barcelona, starting from Passeig de Picasso and crossing the finish line at the (very appropriate) Arc de Triomf. Plaza Espana and the port are part of a great sightseeing tour in the popular tourist destination.

When?
The 2012 edition is on February 26th. The race must be completed in less than 2 hours and 30 minutes: if you are a slow runner just avoid the extra glass of sangria the night before.

Why?
Less popular and internationally known than the Barcelona Marathon (taking place in March), the Asics Mitja Marató is a friendly run where foreign runners are still not too many. Add a very mild climate in February and a flat course with wide boulevards for the perfect spring race. Take some time to visit the Sagrada Familia or have a few tapas and drinks in the streets around Las Ramblas.
