Palma Seafront Run, Mallorca (9 km)

This flat 9 km loop runs along the coast just south of Palma, through Coll d’en Rabassa — a stretch of beaches, marinas, and promenades a few kilometres from the old town. I ran it out along the seafront and back before the light went.

The route

• Start / end: Coll d’en Rabassa seafront (circular)
• Distance: About 9 km (5½ miles)
• Terrain: Paved promenade, coastal roads, and short sections on sand — almost entirely flat

Stay near the water and you cannot go wrong. Watch for cyclists and pedestrians on the busier promenade sections. Bring sunscreen — there is almost no shade — and time the loop for sunset if you can.
