The Madrid Course contre le Cancer is an urban road race held in Spain’s capital. It offers 4.5 km and 10 km options, alongside a separate junior course for children and younger participants. Typically held in mid-April, the 10 km distance is the most popular. The event supports a cancer charity, meaning participants register for both a city race and a fundraiser.
The routes are city courses, not trail or countryside runs, with both adult distances featuring a one-loop format. The shorter distance provides a manageable option for newer runners and walkers, while the 10 km is suited for those aiming for a personal best on Madrid’s streets. Families are included as children and juniors have their own course, and the event encourages runners of all abilities to unite in the fight against cancer.
