Carrera Navideña Cortesina 2026

The Carrera Navideña Cortesina is a popular Christmas race held in Hernán Cortés, a village in Badajoz, Extremadura, Spain. It takes place in December, featuring a main race of approximately 5.5 km, positioning it as a short local road race rather than a long-distance event. The event also offers youth races, including a 1.5 km Juvenil distance and a 400 m Infantil distance. The name directly links it to the Christmas period, and the race format accommodates senior runners, younger participants, and local families on the same day.
