November is half-marathon season in Spain. Over the next two weekends there are more than twenty road races from Lleida to Tenerife, plus two marathons, in Toledo and San Sebastián. If someone you care about is running one, this page lists them with their start times and shows how to follow them live: a dot on the course map, their pace and an arrival estimate for any kilometre, and your voice in their earbuds when it gets hard.

How to follow a runner live

  1. The runner creates the race in the Cheerlify app. For the races in the first two tables it takes one tap: the route, distance and start time are already there. Tap "Track it" next to the race on the phone they'll run with.
  2. They share one link and a code with family and friends. You open it in any browser, with no app and no account.
  3. On race day you see where they are on the course, their pace, and when they'll reach the spot where you're standing. Record a voice or video cheer for a chosen kilometre and it plays in their earbuds right there, or send one live while you watch.

The race's own chip timing still works alongside this. It updates at the timing mats; GPS from the runner's phone fills the gaps between them. We explain the difference in chip timing vs GPS.

More races these weekends, without a route in the app yet

These organisers publish their course only as a picture, so it isn't in our race list yet. Your runner can still track any of them: create a race, add the date, and either upload a GPX of the course or run without a route (the map then draws their actual track).

Before race day

  • Check the start time and your runner's wave on the race site in race week. Times above are from each organiser's site on 8 November 2026.
  • Ask your runner to create the race in the app a day or two before and send you the link. Test it the evening before.
  • Their phone: fully charged, low-power mode off, location set to "Always".
  • Record two or three short cheers for the last third of the race. Keep them under 20 seconds. For ideas, see our 30+ lines for every stage of a race.

Frequently asked questions

Can I follow a half marathon in Spain from another country?

Yes. The link works in any browser anywhere, and mainland Spain is on Central European Time, so for most of Europe the race happens during your own morning.

Do I need the race's own app to follow a runner?

No. Cheerlify uses GPS from the runner's phone and doesn't depend on the organiser. Many races also have chip tracking; you can use both.

What if the race isn't on this list?

Your runner can create any race in the app with a GPX file of the course, or without a route at all.

Race names belong to their organisers. Cheerlify is not affiliated with any of these races.
