Carrera Popular Noche Mágica de Santiago

The Carrera Popular Noche Mágica de Santiago is a local road race held in the evening in Santiago de Calatrava, a town in Jaén. It takes place in July, with the first race starting at 20:15 and subsequent races continuing through the evening. The distances are 1.25 km, 2.5 km, and 5 km, suitable for children, casual runners, and those seeking a brief town race over a long-distance event. The start is located on Calle Jaén, adjacent to the Guadalinfo center. The shortest race begins first, followed by the 2.5 km race, and the 5 km race starts later in the evening. The event features a non-competitive category, along with photography, videography, finish-line coverage, and awards, contributing to a local festival atmosphere. With its edition count in the high teens, it is an established town event with its own traditions and local support.
