Benalmádena's Holiday World Half Marathon, the event's seventh edition, took place on Sunday 27 November. The race, as well as the sixth 5k and 10k, saw some 1,500 runners break the record for most participants.

The start and finish line was located at the famous Three Elephants roundabout, which is found next to the Holiday World resort.

The organisers were able to raise 45,000 euros thanks to the races, and the money will go towards the Proyecto Hombre charity, who help young men with adiction problems.

The winner of the men's half marathon was Antonio Jesús Aguilar, who defended his 2021 win with an impressive time of 1:11:21. He was followed onto the podium by Carlos Pascual and David Lares.

Gabriela Vieitez also retained her half marathon title as she crossed the line in 1:34:01, with Verónica Asenio and Narda Claros finshing second and third, respectively.
