Semi-Marató Fira de Maig Campos 2027

A May afternoon in Campos, with the Fira de Maig filling the streets with people, music and stalls: it is time for the Semi-Marató Fira de Maig, one of Mallorca's most traditional races. Its 12.4 km main race brings together runners from all over the island on a fast course through the town and its surroundings, with spectators cheering at every corner. General information: - Expected date: Saturday 2027-05-08, during the Fira de Maig in Campos. This is an estimate: the race is usually held on the Saturday of the fair (2025-05-10 and 2026-05-09), and the organiser has not yet published the 2027 date. - Edition: it would be the 48th; the 47th was held in 2026. - Location: Campos, in southern Mallorca. Activities are centred on the Camp Municipal d'Esports. - Distance: 12.4 km main race. - Start: 18:30 in the previous edition. - Men and women can take part, with or without a federation licence. - Timing and registration: Elitechip. Why it is special: - It is one of the longest-running races in Mallorca: almost half a century combining sport and local festivities. - It is part of the Fira de Maig, Campos' big spring fair, so the town is full of atmosphere. - It is run in the late afternoon, in the golden light of May and pleasant temperatures. - There is a prize for the first local athlete and a club prize, which really motivates runners from the area. - Its 12.4 km distance is perfect for running fast without the preparation a half marathon demands. Course: The main race covers 12.4 km through the streets of Campos and the paved lanes around it, starting and finishing next to the Camp Municipal d'Esports. The organiser does not publish a detailed map of the courses. It is an urban and inter-urban circuit around Campos, with the gentle profile typical of the Mallorcan plain.
