Cycling & running events in Seville, 2026

Seville Training Notes

Running: Locals run the rio Guadalquivir promenade because it stays simple and calm. Sevilla Running Club meets on Tuesdays and Thursdays at la Torre del Oro and runs along the rio Guadalquivir promenade. The east side of the river holds shade until about 9:30 or 10am, so morning intervals feel sane. Parque de Maria Luisa gives you an easy 5K anchor with Carrera popular Parque de Maria Luisa. Carrera Nocturna del Guadalquivir and Zurich Maratón de Sevilla sit on the calendar when you want a bigger goal. Triana gives the run a proper local feel near Puente de Triana.

Cycling: Locals ride Seville for base miles first, because the city has more than 180 kilometers of bike lanes. Bike lanes are normally bi-directional, painted green, and separated from the road. The city centre gives you a short spin to quiet riverside paths, and Aljarafe gives you more room once you want Z2 outside town. Roadies and gravel fans go north when they want climbs. Constantina, Cazalla de la Sierra, and San Nicolas del Puerto bring provincial roads, bike lanes, and gravel tracks. The northern mountains give hilly inclines and prolonged climbs for gran fondo legs.

Season: October mornings feel right here, and locals get out early because highs can still reach around 32°C. Seville sits at 110 meters, so the flat city miles come easy until the heat takes over. Summer changes the whole rhythm. Locals wake just before sunrise and roll or run as soon as it is light enough. July and August bring average daily highs above 35°C, and temperatures above 40°C are not uncommon. Winter brings mild weather and moderate rainfall, so runners keep the river steady and cyclists shift between bike lanes, gravel tracks, and northern climbs.
