Recurring 5K races near Gandía-Oliva
Races that repeat — weekly, monthly or yearly
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.
Carreira Popular Nocturna San Ramón
The Carreira Popular Nocturna San Ramón is a 5 km night race held in Vilalba, Lugo, organized by Clube Atletismo Vilalba. This is a local popular race, not exclusively for elite athletes, and the program also includes a walk for those who wish to participate without competing.
The course is 5,000 meters. The appeal lies in the short evening format and the San Ramón setting within the town. Runners and walkers participate together, fostering a community atmosphere rather than a purely competitive road-racing event.
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.
10K y 5K San Antonio de Benagéber
The 10K and 5K San Antonio de Benagéber is an evening race in San Antonio de Benagéber, held during the San Isidro and San Roque festivals. It is organized by the town council's sports department and is part of the Circuit Camp de Túria – Caixa Popular, a regional series uniting races across Camp de Túria.
The event begins with children’s races within the municipal football field. The main race starts later from the same venue, which also serves as the finish. Runners and supporters travel from across the comarca. The race is part of a ten-event circuit linking different municipalities. Registration is free via Cronorunner, and participants receive a commemorative T-shirt.
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.
10K y 5K Mislata
Dinosauris Moncada
Dinosauris Moncada is a solidarity run in Moncada, Valencia, offering 10 km and 5 km distances. It takes place at the David Casinos sports center, concluding the autumn running season and providing local runners a late-season competition with professional timing by Cronorunner.
The event is included in the Circuit Horta Sud and marks its eleventh year. The Dinosauris club originated from friends gathering to run and exercise, with a straightforward goal: to enjoy races and promote greater participation in sports.
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.

Gandia-Oliva Training Notes
Gandía-Oliva hosts 24 5K races in 2026 within 80 km of the city centre — upcoming dates, recurring series, and other races nearby, all in one place.
Locals run the coast first, then go inland when they want bite. The route is 5 km, and the easy line works well for Z2, strides, or a calm shakeout. The full loop covers 44 miles and gains 47,398 feet. Club d’Atletisme Safor Teika, Club Atletismo Gandia, and Gandia Triatló keep the scene moving. The anchor calendar stays busy with Volta a Peu Palma de Gandía, Volta a Peu de Ador, Gandia Half Marathon, 10k Nocturna Platja de Gandia, and Oliva Running 10K.
Locals ride the flat stuff between Gandia and Oliva when the legs need base miles. The route runs 2 km, climbs 44 m, and mixes cycleway, quiet road, and road. You can also ride 5 km from Oliva to Gandia. The route covers 44 miles and 47,398 feet of climbing. Ruta de Gandia a Sagunto adds longer road work through points like Font Freda and Altos de Salomón. Gandia Triatló anchors the multisport crowd, while Cumbre del Sol and Port de Bèrnia hold the climbing drills.
Spring gives both runners and cyclists the cleanest rhythm, with March to May sitting around 20°C to 25°C. Autumn gives the same kind of confidence, with September to November around 18°C to 25°C and quieter roads after the summer tourism season. Summer asks for early starts, because Costa Blanca heat can reach 35°C and the busy season changes the feel of the coast. Winter keeps training possible but sharper, with 10°C to 15°C days and more planning for long rides, while November still gives over 10 hours of daylight from about 7:30 am to just after 6:00 pm.
