Legua Urbana Nocturna La Bellota 2027

The Legua Urbana Nocturna La Bellota is a short night road race held in Baños de la Encina, a town in Jaén, Spain. The main race covers approximately 5 km, positioning it as a manageable distance for both quick local competitors and less experienced runners. It is also known by the sponsor name Aceites Virgen de la Encina and is featured on Spain’s popular-race calendar, indicating it is not exclusively for elite athletes. The course is an urban circuit through Baños de la Encina after dark, with timing managed by DeporTime and distinct general and category rankings. The event also hosts children’s and cadet races, contributing to a broader town race day atmosphere rather than solely an adult competition. Its appeal extends beyond the local area; one edition attracted participants from 58 municipalities across 11 Spanish provinces and established a participation record. The race is now in its thirteenth year, with one previous edition rescheduled to late winter.
