Carrera Benéfica Playa de Salinas

The Carrera Benéfica Playa de Salinas is a charity run held in Salinas, within the Castrillón municipality of Asturias, Spain. The primary race covers a short coastal route of approximately 6 kilometers (listed by one source as 6.2 km) and is open to individuals aged 14 and older. It typically occurs in late May, although the specific date for the upcoming edition may remain unconfirmed until the organizer provides an update. The event is associated with Playa de Salinas, giving it a local, beach-focused character distinct from large urban road races. In addition to the running race, a 6-kilometer Nordic Walking event is offered for adults in one category. While the running race is designated as non-competitive, results and rankings are still provided, offering a recorded finish for those seeking that without the intensity of a competitive race.

Marcha Solidaria Monteareo BTT

Only 400 riders can enter Marcha Solidaria Monteareo BTT, an annual 52 km mountain bike charity ride based in Guimarán, Asturias. It takes place in September as a solidarity event against childhood cancer, and the organizers describe the march as non-competitive, though it also scores for the Asturias BTT Marathon Cup. The route uses the Monte Areo BTT circuit, and a permanent version of the course can be ridden at any time of year. All proceeds go to the Galbán Association of Families of Children with Cancer of the Principality of Asturias and the La Fe Health Research Institute. Those who do not ride can still donate through the “Fila Cero” option. The association behind the event is run by volunteers, giving the ride a local, hands-on feel rather than a purely commercial race setup.

San Silvestre de Llanera

San Silvestre de Llanera is a 5 km New Year's Eve run held in Posada de Llanera, Asturias, Spain, starting in the early evening instead of the morning. It is designated as non-competitive, emphasizing a shared run to conclude the year over striving for official rankings or prizes. The event is organized by Llanera's town council and Club Llanera Atletismo, marking its thirty-second edition. While exact route details are limited, the format is established: a short local 5k in Posada, scheduled for the final afternoon of the year, following the Spanish San Silvestre tradition of ending the calendar with a run.

About cycling & running in Avilés

Avilés Training Notes

Running: Avilés gives runners a flat coastal base beside the Avilés estuary. The route covers 20 miles with only 52 feet of gain. The course mostly follows urban and semi-urban roads, so intervals stay simple. The 7 km option has 45 m of gain. 10K de Avilés and San Silvestre de Avilés are the anchor events in town.

Cycling: Avilés rides well when you want base miles without fuss. Locals roll the Gijón - Avilés road route, and that line covers 51 km for road bikes. The route covers 00 km with 1388 m of elevation gain through Avilés, Illas, Castrillón, Corvera, Soto del Barco, and Candamo. The climbs sit outside the flat city centre, where low promontories stay under 140 m. The brief names no cycling clubs. Marcha Solidaria Monteareo BTT is the anchor name for dirt riders.

Season: Summer is the best block here because Avilés stays warm but still cool for Spain. The coast brings mixed sun and cloud, so Z2 miles feel less cooked than they do inland. Locals keep morning runs and rides easy, then use the flatter city roads for intervals when the wind behaves. Winter changes the texture. Rain and wind become part of the plan, and gravel can turn muddy on wet days. The temperature rarely drops below zero, but Asturias can still throw snowfall down to sea level. Cyclocross legs help when pista and senderos get soft.
