Carrera Popular Villa de Horche 2026

The Carrera Popular Villa de Horche is a free 7 km running event in Horche, a municipality in Guadalajara, Spain. It is held in late August as part of the build-up to the town’s patron-saint festivities. The main race starts and finishes in Plaza Mayor, with entries capped at 250 runners. It is open to runners over 16, and children’s races follow after the last registered adult runner has crossed the line. The route stays entirely within Horche, using town streets and nearby surroundings. Its 7 km are described by the organisers as demanding, with noticeable elevation changes, making it a short race but not an easy jog. The event is in its twelfth edition and maintains the same basic format and route from previous editions, giving it the feel of a local fixture.
