On October 7, 2026, Marathon Handbook reported that Spain's snap election, set by Pedro Sánchez for November 29, forced the Seville Half-Marathon to move from that morning to December 13. The race had been due to start with a record 24,500 runners. The report said entrants unable to make the new date would have options, but the supplied excerpt does not specify them. No other reports are included in this update, so the current state rests on this single account: the race is now scheduled for December 13 rather than November 29, and the stated cause is the election date.
