It&#039;s a different way of experiencing the island. Imagine running 21 kilometers through natural landscapes, without buildings, without cars, just the sea on one side, pine forests on the other, and an open sky that seems to go on forever. That&#039;s what makes this half marathon so special.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The challenge here isn&#039;t just physical. It&#039;s sensorial. Running connects you with nature and makes you part of the island&#039;s peaceful rhythm, even if it&#039;s only for a few hours.<\/span><\/p>\n<div style=\"width: 410px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.formentera.es\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/63411_175064309182732_9586_n.jpg\" alt=\"Formentera Half Marathon\" width=\"400\" height=\"266\" \/><p class=\"wp-caption-text\">Source: formentera.es<\/p><\/div>\n<h2><b>When is it celebrated?<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Formentera Half Marathon takes place in May.
