Carrera Popular Santiponce

The Carrera Popular Santiponce is a local road race held in Santiponce, near Seville. The main 10 km race begins at the Francisco Domínguez indoor sports pavilion. It takes place in late November, with the adult race in the morning and children’s races following around midday. Santiponce City Council organizes the event, which has a limited field of 400 adult bibs and 400 children’s bibs, with low entry fees reflecting its community focus. The adult course is a 10,000-metre circuit through Santiponce’s streets, starting and finishing at the same pavilion. The school races cover shorter distances, from 500 to 2,300 metres, with categories for participants from babies up to cadets. Club runners compete at the front, with recent front runners from teams like Correcaminos La Palma, CA Cuatro Caminos, and Camagc Atletismo. The winning pace is typically around 3:16 per kilometre. Trophies are awarded to the top three women and men in each category.
