The Carrera Hospital 12 de Octubre begins at Hospital Universitario 12 de Octubre in Madrid on a Saturday morning. Participants can choose between 5 km and 10 km races, or a 2.5 km walk. This is a free solidarity event supporting the 12 de Octubre Hospital, with sponsorship from Sacyr. The first edition is organized as a community running and athletics event, not exclusively for elite athletes.
The route follows Parque de Pradolongo, keeping the race near the hospital and its neighborhood. Runners gather at the David González Rubio football fields at 9:30 AM for a group photo before the 10:00 AM start. Sacyr's sports club is providing 50 complimentary bibs; interested runners should specify their chosen distance (5 km or 10 km) when registering.
