Gran Canaria Media Maratón Alcalde Camilo Sánchez 2026: follow the night race live

The 18th Gran Canaria Media Maratón Alcalde Camilo Sánchez is a night race. It starts on Saturday 21 November 2026 at 20:00, Canary time, in Vecindario, in the municipality of Santa Lucía de Tirajana. The half marathon is two laps of the town's streets, and a 10K and a 5K start at almost the same time.

The race at a glance

Follow live

Runners carry a timing chip, and the race website links last year's results on toptime.live. It doesn't mention live tracking during the race.

To see where your runner is during the race, the runner can share GPS from their phone with Cheerlify. You see a dot on the course map, their current pace and an estimate of when they'll reach the finish, in any browser, with just a link and a code. You can also record voice or video cheers that play in their earbuds at the kilometre you choose. Why the two work best together: chip timing vs GPS.

The course

The circuit is about 10.5 km through the streets of Vecindario and is run twice, with a sign at every kilometre and water every 5 km. The 10K shares much of the route and has its own turn point, so the roads are busy in the first lap. GPS doesn't need daylight, so the map works just as well at 21:00.

Where to cheer, and when to send a cheer

• Start and finish: stay on Avenida de Las Tirajanas and you see your runner at the start, at halfway and at the finish.
• Cheer: pin one at km 16, in the second lap, when it gets hard and the finish still feels far away.

Checklist

1. Bib picked up on Friday 20 November (10:00–14:00 or 16:00–21:00) or Saturday 21 November (10:00–15:00).
2. The runner's Cheerlify link and code opened once the evening before.
3. Their phone charged again in the afternoon, since an evening race comes after a full day of use, with location access set to "Always".
4. A cheer recorded for km 16.
5. A meeting point near the finish agreed.
