Carrera Urbana Vélez Málaga 2026

Carrera Urbana Vélez Málaga is a road race held in Vélez-Málaga, Málaga province, southern Spain, starting and finishing at Parque Andalucía. The primary adult race covers 10 km, with a 5 km option for runners from the SUB18 age group to masters. A 3 km walk is also part of the programme. The event takes place in late November, organized by the Sports Department of Vélez-Málaga City Council. Online registration is managed through Club Atletismo Vélez. The day features several short races instead of a single mass start: SUB12, SUB14, and SUB16 runners compete over 1,500 m, SUB10 runners cover 700 m, and SUB8 children run 500 m. The walk is non-competitive, without rankings or medals, and raises funds for Asociación Esperanza, supporting women with breast cancer in the Axarquía region. With over forty editions completed, the race is a long-standing local athletics event. Schoolchildren, adult runners, walkers, clubs, families, and charity participants all use Parque Andalucía as a central point.
