The Carrera de la Mujer de Medina del Campo is a popular run for women in Medina del Campo, a town in Valladolid, Spain, typically held on an October evening. This is a short urban event, approximately 5.5 to 6 km, mostly flat, with a non-competitive spirit suitable for runners, walkers, and those aiming for their first finish line. The town council, through its Women, Integration and Equality department, organizes the event, with Runvasport managing race operations.
The route begins and ends in Plaza Mayor de la Hispanidad, utilizing central streets and squares to allow spectators to follow the race from numerous vantage points. The event attracts participants, spectators, volunteers, sponsors, and local collaborators. A portion of the entry fee supports the Spanish Association Against Cancer. The event's message emphasizes equality, women in sport, and support for women affected by gender violence or breast cancer. A race slogan captures the spirit: you are not racing anyone, only finding out what you can do.
