Correndo por Ourense - A Ponte

A Ponte is a neighborhood road race in Ourense, held in late September as part of the Correndo por Ourense series. The event begins at 11:00 a.m. on Francisca Herrera, near 12 de Octubre, and is designed for all age groups, not solely adult runners. The primary adult race covers 5.7 km and is designated non-competitive, while younger participants compete in shorter distances ranging from 100 meters to 1.9 km. The youngest children compete in the Pitufos category, followed by Sub10, Sub12, Sub14, Sub16, Sub18, and Absoluta categories throughout the morning. Youth participation is free, and the adult Absoluta entry fee is minimal. Bibs are collected on race day at the start and finish area. A Ponte is one of several Correndo por Ourense races, including Couto, Centro, Trail Oira-San Tomé, Mariñamansa, and Carballeira. The registered field of 974 runners indicates a significant local event, not a small club gathering.
