La Gran Joya de Cenizate begins and ends in Plaza de los Jardinillos, with runners starting at 8 p.m. for a 7.6 km popular race through the municipality of Cenizate. It is a short-to-medium distance event in the Albacete provincial popular race circuit, open to runners aged 16 and over, with entries limited to 600 and recent participation around 520 runners.
The setup is local: bibs are collected at the Polideportivo Pavilion from 6 p.m. until half an hour before the start, using the CHECK-IN-SPORT system. The course has mineral-water aid stations at kilometers 2, 4, and 6, and the finish closes at 9 p.m., giving the race a one-hour window from start to cutoff. The entry fee is modest, with a lower price for registered circuit runners and a slightly higher one for non-registered participants.
