Palma Half Marathon – 20th October 2024

by Steve Mills

Beautiful setting. Start and finish in front of the cathedral on the sea front.

Set off in the dark at 6am from the hotel to catch the bus to Palma for an 8am start. Really well organised (not enough toilets) and the sun came up as we set off.

Really congested at the start but after a few miles could settle down. The half is a one lap course going around the port, back along the coast past the cathedral and a section through the narrow streets of the city which offered some welcome shade. There is also a 9k and a two lap marathon-maybe next year!!

Well happy with my time of 1.40.58 considering the heat.
