Races that repeat — weekly, monthly or yearly
10K y 5K Villa de Almoradí
The 10K y 5K Villa de Almoradí is a local road race held in Almoradí, within Spain's Alicante province. It offers participants two clear choices: a 10K race and a 5K race, both put on by Club Atletismo Almoradí Trikilómetros.
The race details highlight a practical town-race setup, not a famous landmark course. Timed results, liquid refreshments, bathrooms, cloakroom service, and a runner’s bag are provided. Trophies are given out, and a speaker manages the finish area, giving the event the atmosphere of a community running day with sufficient organization for both casual runners and those aiming for a specific time.
Media Maratón 10K y 5K de Archena
Archena’s Media Maratón 10K y 5K is an evening road race in the Region of Murcia, offering three distances: a half marathon, a 10K, and a 5K. All races commence and conclude at the Municipal Sports Center, providing a central point for participants before and after the event. Hundreds of runners are anticipated, indicating the race is designed for a wide range of participants, not exclusively for elite athletes.
The course connects the Segura riverbank with Archena’s town center, featuring both riverside paths and urban streets. The event is supported by Joma and Deportes Cándido, and the Athletics Federation of the Region of Murcia was present at its introduction. Archena has a history of hosting significant sporting events, and local organizers consider this race a highlight on the regional schedule.
Cursa Popular 9 de Octubre
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.
Carrera Popular de Santomera
The Carrera Popular de Santomera is a local road race in Santomera for children and adults. The day begins with children's races, attracting dozens of schoolchildren from the town, and concludes with the adult events. Runners can choose between a 5K or 10K race, and the adult program also features a 10K relay.
The 5K covers one lap of the course, while the 10K offers a more challenging test for faster club runners and local competitors. The ninth edition saw Nicole Kronsbein and Luis Francisco García Bernal finish as the fastest 10K runners, with times of 39:18 and 33:57, respectively. The relay introduced a team element, with CA Puerto de Torrevieja taking first place, followed by Grupo Alcaraz and Ana y José María.
Carrera Popular Rincón de Seca
The Carrera Popular Rincón de Seca is a 5 km run held in Rincón de Seca, a district of Murcia in southeastern Spain. The listing indicates the race is scheduled for October, though the exact date is unconfirmed. The 5 km event is designated as non-competitive.
The race is part of a larger running schedule in Murcia, with classifications and results to be published on the race listing when they become available. The event features a dedicated website, organizer contact information, social media connections, and an option for runners to receive an alert once the date is confirmed.

RunCáncer Gandia is a 5-kilometer walk and non-competitive run in Gandia, the capital of La Safor, held on the first Sunday in November.

Hundreds of participants are anticipated, with all registration fees directed to cancer research.
The Gandia event is organized by the Association Against Cancer of Gandia and is part of the provincial RunCáncer circuit coordinated by the Association Against Cancer of Valencia. This local edition marks its eleventh year, with backing from Gandia City Council and collaboration from Sklum. Its public launch featured health and sports councillors and the local association president, highlighting the race's connection to civic support and fundraising.
Carrera Solidaria Cox
Carrera Solidaria Cox is a local running event in Cox, a town in Alicante, organized by the Ayuntamiento de Cox. It follows a popular race format, with short-distance options around 5K and 10K, and some editions also listed as a 5.3 km run.
The event is not framed as an elite race: the 5K and 10K have been listed as non-competitive, fitting the “Solidaria” name and its charity purpose. Results have been published for the 10K in at least one edition, and the race has reached at least its seventh running under the 5K and 10K format.
Carrera Solidaria Terra Mítica Park
The Carrera Solidaria Terra Mítica Park is a charity run in Benidorm, Alicante province, Spain. Its schedule is not yet confirmed. The available race is a 5 km run, designated as non-competitive by Buscametas, emphasizing participation over competition.
The event is associated with Terra Mítica Park, offering a unique setting distinct from typical urban races. Although the 5 km category is non-competitive, results and classifications are still published. Runners can opt for notifications on Buscametas to receive updates on event details.
Carrera Solidaria Auxiliar Conservera
The Carrera Solidaria Auxiliar Conservera is a charity run taking place in Molina de Segura, Murcia. The start and finish lines are located next to the Auxiliar Conservera factory. The event includes a 10K run, a 5K run, and a 3K walk. All three start simultaneously, allowing runners and walkers to participate together regardless of pace or distance.
The course runs near Auxiliar Conservera, a metal packaging manufacturer, and includes a section along the Segura River bank. This race commemorates Pedro Vicente Cascales. It is supported by the Molina de Segura City Council and the Athletics Federation of the Region of Murcia. The event is also part of the Carthago Running League, Carthago Mountain League, and La Union Running League.

Buscametas provides event listings, including registration and contact information, with pending classifications. Runners can request notifications for results. While specific route details are unavailable, the event is a short city run in Alicante focused on diabetes awareness, offering distinct running and walking options over the same 5 km distance.
Carrera y marcha solidaria Adamur
Carrera y Marcha Solidaria Adamur is a small, family-oriented sports event held at the San Ginés fairground in Murcia. Organized by ADAMUR in conjunction with the Athletics Federation of the Region of Murcia, the event prioritizes inclusive, charity-focused participation over a singular competitive race.
The day begins with a 6-kilometer run, followed by a 3-kilometer walk one hour later. Following these main events, children participate in their own races, ensuring the format accommodates runners, walkers, families, and younger children. This event is in its early stages, with its second edition noted in the source material.

About 5K races in Alicante
Alicante Training Notes
Alicante hosts 29 5K races in 2026 within 80 km of the city centre — upcoming dates, recurring series, and other races nearby, all in one place.
Alicante runners keep the easy stuff close to the coast and the sharper stuff around Cabo de la Huerta, Serra Grossa, Tossal, and Benacantil hills. Locals use aquarunn Urbanova, Cross Aguamarga, Acuatrail del Cabo, Carrera Papa Noel La Florida, Carrera Solidaria Ruta 091 - Alicante, and Carrera día Mundial de la Diabetes as regular calendar checks. The Elche – Alicante marathon is the anchor event, and it starts in Elche by the castle before finishing by the port in Alicante. The course runs mostly flat and gives you a 10km descending stretch between the two cities.
Alicante riders get the good roads fast, and the Costa Blanca makes base miles feel easy even when the climbs bite. Locals look toward Altea - Coll de Rates, Altea - La Nucia - Guadalest, Altea - La Carrasqueta, Benidorm - Alto de Aitana, Benidorm - Tudons, and Puerto de La Vall d’Ebo. 3%. The climb runs 6 km with 7885 m of elevation gain.
Spring and autumn are the clean picks, and April to June plus September to November give the best riding temperatures. Summer keeps the sea bright, but the inland heat gets intense and the humid Mediterranean nights make recovery feel heavier. Locals start early, keep intervals short, and save longer Z2 for cooler windows. Winter changes the mood in a good way, because temperatures sit around 10°C to 20°C and pros train on the Costa Blanca. February brings almond blossom, and the same roads feel busy with shapely pros and wannabes trying to keep the wheel.
