This year, the Madrid Half Marathon, a World Athletics Label Road Race which is included in the official calendar of the Association of International Marathons and Distance Races (AIMS),was held on 7 April. It introduced a new route that took runners through iconic avenues and squares such as Paseo de la Castellana, Plaza de Castilla, and Gran Vía, and past landmarks like Santiago Bernabéu Stadium, Puerta de Alcalá gate and Cibeles Fountain.
Although the starting line (Paseo de la Castellana) and finish line (Paseo de Recoletos) were the same as in past editions, the route was flatter than in previous years and ended along gentle downhill slopes in the most touristic part of Madrid.
This edition was won by Kenyan runner Mike Kipkorir (1:01:07) and Ethiopian athlete Aberash Shilima Kebeda (1:08:31). The race's all-time records are held in the men’s category by Ronald Kiprotich who clocked 59:38 in 2021 and, in the women's category, by Winfridah Moraa who finished in 1:07:22 in 2022.
In addition to the Half Marathon, a parallel Carrera ProFuturo race was held with a much shorter distance of just 5.8K.
