Everything you need to know to take part in the race on May 15 and plan your stay in Formentera.

The Formentera Half Marathon 2027 will take place on Saturday, May 15, with two race distances: the 21.097 km Half Marathon and the 8 km race. It is one of the island's most important sporting events of the spring season.

How to Register for the Formentera Half Marathon

Places are limited and, in previous editions, a pre-registration system followed by a race bib lottery has been used.

The registration process usually begins in November, so it's advisable to check the dates, fees and participation requirements on the official Formentera Half Marathon website.

Formentera Half Marathon and 8 km Race Routes

Half Marathon: 21.097 km

The traditional route starts at La Mola Lighthouse and finishes in La Savina, passing through different landscapes in the heart of Formentera.

8 km Race

The 8 km race usually starts in Sant Ferran de ses Roques and shares the same finish line in La Savina. It is an alternative for runners who prefer a shorter distance.

The final race schedules and routes for 2027 are subject to confirmation by the organisers.

How to Get to Formentera and Where to Stay

To reach Formentera, you need to take a ferry from Ibiza to the port of La Savina. During the race weekend, booking transport and accommodation in advance is highly recommended.

Tips for Taking Part in the Formentera Half Marathon

Ideally, you should arrive at least one day before the race to collect your race bib, rest and organise transport to the starting line.

May usually brings pleasant temperatures, although it's important to check the weather forecast and prepare suitable hydration and running gear.

Taking part in the Half Marathon is also an opportunity to discover Formentera in spring. At Paya Hotels, we invite you to plan your stay in advance and enjoy everything the island has to offer beyond the race.
