The Cursa Popular 9 de Octubre is a running event held in Altea, a coastal town in Alicante. The event typically includes a 10 km run and a 5 km option, with the 5 km designated as non-competitive.
The race's name, 9 de Octubre, links it to the local calendar. Results and classifications are provided for both races. This makes the 10 km suitable for runners seeking a recorded performance, while the 5 km offers a less pressured way for others to participate.
