About the Barcelona Half Marathon

Join us for the eDreams Barcelona Half Marathon and challenge your limits in one of Europe's most stunning cities.

The fast, flat course takes in the Arc de Triomf, old town and Plaça Catalunya, before the final stretch along the seafront with the Sagrada Familia in your sights. Why not finish with a swim in the Mediterranean and some tapas to celebrate?

When you run and fundraise for Shelter, you stand with everyone facing homelessness or unsafe housing.

You must be at least 18 years old to run the Barcelona Half Marathon.

Have any questions?

Check our event guidance or get in touch at running@shelter.org.uk.

All our fundraisers get the best from us, including:

  • a Shelter technical running top

  • training plans created by our partners GH Training

  • personal trainer support

  • fundraising advice from the Shelter running team

Your run fuels the fight for home

Two men wearing Shelter vests and medals hold up a frame that reads 'The fight for home starts here'.

Thanks to fundraisers like you, last year we supported 15,975 households through our emergency helpline and 12,203 through our local hubs. From older renters facing eviction to families crammed into hotel rooms, our experts stand with people experiencing homelessness or unsafe housing.

We also campaign for long-term change, lobbying the government to build social homes, improve renters' rights and end homelessness for good.

Every mile, every drop of sweat and every pound you raise will help defend the right to a safe home.

Fundraising for Shelter

We recommend you start by setting up a fundraising page on JustGiving and asking friends, family and colleagues to sponsor you. You can also organise an event such as a bake sale or quiz. See our fundraising resources for more inspiration.

Please make sure you’re confident in reaching the fundraising pledge before you sign up. We invest in places at charity events and need to raise as much as possible for our fight against housing injustice.

Our friendly Events team are on hand to support you with your fundraising. If you have a question or want to talk through ideas, email running@shelter.org.uk or call us on 0344 515 1190.
