About the Rock 'n' Roll Madrid Half Marathon

The Rock 'n' Roll Madrid Half Marathon blends Spanish passion with musical motivation. Runners navigate the Castilian capital's challenging terrain, passing royal palaces, historic plazas, and through expansive parks at nearly 700 meters elevation. April's unpredictable continental climate adds another variable as participants tackle substantial hills that showcase Madrid's surprisingly varied topography. Live bands every mile provide rhythmic encouragement while passionate Spanish spectators create electric energy with calls of "¡Venga! ¡Venga!" This race captures Madrid's distinctive character—proudly traditional yet vibrantly modern—offering both serious athletic challenge and cultural immersion into Spain's dynamic capital. The combination of elevation, hills, and Madrileño spirit creates a memorable test of endurance rewarded with post-race tapas and celebration.
