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.
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.
5K Ciudad de Elda
RunCáncer Gandia 2026
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. It starts and finishes in Plaza del Prado, offering a straightforward event: one short distance, one central meeting point, and a format open to those who wish to run, walk, or support the cause. 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 día Mundial de la Diabetes
The World Diabetes Day 5K is a non-competitive 5 km event in Alicante, held in connection with World Diabetes Day. It is scheduled for mid-November, with the specific date unconfirmed. Participants may opt for a 5 km run or a 5 km walk, emphasizing participation over competition.
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 Solidaria Ruta 091 - Elche
The Carrera Solidaria Ruta 091 - Elche is a 5.6 km charity run taking place in Elche, Alicante. It begins at 10:00 AM from Paseo de la Estación. Organized by the Local Police Station of the National Police in Elche with support from the City Council, this non-competitive race emphasizes participation and fundraising over winning.
The course starts and finishes on Paseo de la Estación, passing through streets such as Calle Ample, Calle Corredora, Avenida Juan Carlos I, Avenida Santa Pola, Camino del Gato, and Calle Es. The event benefits Fundación Conciénciate Elche and Dacerelx Asociación Daño Cerebral Adquirido de Elche. This is the fourth running of the Ruta 091 charity race in Elche.
Media Maratón Unión Alcoyana
The Media Maratón Unión Alcoyana is a running event held annually in Alcoi, Spain, during December, with its main races commencing in the morning. It offers multiple participation options beyond a single distance: a half marathon, a quarter marathon, Nordic walking, a half relay, a walking event, and a micro marathon designed for children.
Organized by Club Atletisme Alcoi, this marks the thirteenth edition of the race. The route utilizes the same circuit as in past years, crossing several of the city’s notable districts. This approach provides participants with an extensive view of Alcoi, differing from a confined stadium-based competition.
Carrera del Pavo de Novelda
The Carrera del Pavo de Novelda is a Christmas-season road race centered on La Glorieta, a regular starting point for this long-running local event. Children’s races go first in the late afternoon, and the adult main race is a 5 km run. It is built as a popular city race rather than a specialist event, with entries open to runners of all ages and ability levels.
The course stays entirely within the urban streets of Novelda, with distances adjusted for each age category. After more than 30 years, it works as both a sports event and a Christmas gathering for the city. Local runners, visiting runners, families, children, and casual participants all fit into the same program, which gives the race its practical, festive feel.
San Silvestre Monovera
San Silvestre Monovera is a year-end running event in Monòver, Alicante, offering races for nearly every age group. The schedule includes 400-metre children’s races up to a 5 km adult race, plus a popular walk for those preferring not to compete. Entry fees are kept low, with registration via Mychip and a 1,000-person limit that was met in a recent edition.
The shortest races are for the youngest children, followed by 800-metre and 1,400-metre distances. Older teenagers and adults compete in the 5 km event. The 5 km race is divided into cadet, junior, senior, veteran, and master categories, allowing club and casual runners to participate within specific groups. Monòver’s Department of Sports organizes the race, supported by local sports clubs, with Civil Protection, Local Police, and the Red Cross managing safety and operations.
Sant Silvestre Dénia
Sant Silvestre Dénia is a short 4.6 km race in Dénia, starting and finishing in Plaça de la Constitució beside the Town Hall. It is part of the San Silvestre tradition of festive end-of-year races, with a 7:30 PM start and a format that lets people either run or walk the route.
Dénia Corre organizes the event with support from the city’s Sports Department, and entries are capped at 700 participants. There is no minimum or maximum age, although children under 14 must be accompanied, and everyone is expected to be fit enough to cover the distance. The finish has a simple local touch: chocolate and sweets after the race.

Benidorm-La Vila Joiosa Training Notes
Benidorm-La Vila Joiosa hosts 19 5K races in 2026 within 80 km of the city centre — upcoming dates, recurring series, and other races nearby, all in one place.
Locals keep the running coastal and simple around Benidorm-La Vila Joiosa. Parque Urbano El Moralet gets the Cross Solidario "Doble Amor", and that inclusive Cross Trail 5K supports a good cause. Terra Mitica Park gives runners another easy anchor with Carrera Solidaria Terra Mitica Park. MM Benidorm Half covers 10K and 21K, so locals can race sharp or stretch the legs. 10K Alfas del Pi keeps the fast road option nearby. Puig Campana pulls trail runners inland for Faldes del Puig Campana and Costa Blanca Trails. No named run club appears in the brief, so races do the meeting work.
Benidorm gives riders a paved link to la Vila Joiosa when they want steady base miles. The route covers 6 km and gains 137 meters on paved surfaces. The route starts in Benidorm and finishes in la Vila Joiosa / Villajoyosa, so it works well as a short Z2 spin or a controlled interval day. Mediterranean Bike Challenge - Polop gives the cycling calendar a 35 km anchor. La Polopina keeps Polop on the radar. Puig Campana and Polop hold the climb talk. No named cycling club appears in the brief, so locals lean on events and familiar wheels.
The season picture stays honest here because the brief does not name best months. Locals still get a coastal setup with paved riding, road races, trail anchors, and enough calendar targets to keep training moving. Summer specifics are not listed in the corpus, so runners and cyclists should treat the race distances and route facts as the firm guide. Winter changes are not pinned down either, but the same split remains clear: road work around Benidorm-La Vila Joiosa, trail work toward Puig Campana, and event focus from MM Benidorm Half to Costa Blanca Trails.
