JJP Sherry Marathon 2027

What is the route of the JJP Sherry Marathon 2027

The JJP Sherry Marathon follows a circular course starting and finishing at the iconic Alameda Vieja, right in the centre of Jerez de la Frontera. The opening kilometres run through the streets of the historic city centre before leaving the urban area behind.

From there, the race heads into the Marco de Jerez wine region, running along albariza-soil tracks, farmhouses and bodegas at the heart of sherry country. It's a route that blends the feel of an urban marathon with the distinctive landscape of Jerez's vineyards, an unusual combination on the Spanish marathon calendar.

The circuit eventually returns to the city to close the loop back at Alameda Vieja, after combining streets, landmark squares and rural tracks in a single race.
