The Cursa Popular del Poble Sec is a 5 km road race in Barcelona's Poble-sec neighborhood, run on asphalt and intended for everyday runners, not an elite field. The main open race is non-competitive, and the event includes children's races, functioning more as a local community running morning than a results-focused road race.
The course consists of two identical laps through the streets of Poble-sec, with the start and finish in Barcelona. C.A. RUNNING organizes the race, which runs under the Memorial Txema Colomer name. Entry includes a T-shirt, and the setup provides basic race services.
