Carrera Solidaria Zancadas de Esperanza

The Carrera Solidaria Zancadas de Esperanza is a charity road race held in Ávila, Spain. It features a main popular race of approximately 7.5 km and a shorter 4 km option. The event focuses on local fundraising rather than competitive times, and its eighth edition aimed for about a thousand participants. The Hermandad de Nuestra Señora de la Esperanza initiated the event as a race created in Ávila, by Ávila, and for Ávila. All proceeds benefit a local charity; one edition directed its funds to Afávila, the association for relatives of people with Alzheimer’s. The event also incorporates family activities, attracting runners, walkers, supporters, and local groups who gather for the charity day.
