About this race
Cursa El Miner de Ferro is a mountain race in Malgrat de Mar, on the Barcelona coast. It starts and finishes on Carrer Can Feliciano and offers a 13 km trail race, plus a 7 km non-competitive march for people who want the shared outing without racing for places. The route has about 300 meters of climbing and the same amount of descent, making it short enough to feel local but still featuring genuine trail work.
The event connects the run with Malgrat's mining past, using the race as a way to move through the town and its nearby surroundings rather than only around streets. The organizers mark the course with white and red tape, and they warn that the route can change late if needed. After the finish, runners and walkers stay for awards and a popular dinner, which makes the evening feel more like a town gathering than a standalone race.
