Cursa contra el Cáncer de Páncreas 2026

Cursa contra el Cáncer de Páncreas is a charity race series held in Spanish and Italian cities to raise funds and public awareness for pancreatic cancer research. It originated from a local run between Muchamiel and San Juan de Alicante, expanding into a multi-city event with Alicante and Las Rozas near Madrid as initial mainstays. Rome and Milan were later added, giving the series an international scope rather than a single fixed course. The race is organized by the Spanish Association of Pancreatology, the Pancreatic Cancer Association, and the Spanish Association of Gastroenterology. No single course defines the entire series, as each host city presents its own iteration. The unifying element is the cause: entry fees and donations support competitive research grants for leading scientific groups focused on pancreatic cancer. Patient advocates are involved in the organizing structure, ensuring the event serves as more than just a medical-community fundraiser. The series has generated over 800,000 euros in a single recent edition, indicating its significant scale and the reasons for continued participation by runners, families, clinicians, and supporters.
