Recurring 5K races near Madrid
Races that repeat — weekly, monthly or yearly
Carrera Hospital 12 de Octubre
The Carrera Hospital 12 de Octubre begins at Hospital Universitario 12 de Octubre in Madrid on a Saturday morning. Participants can choose between 5 km and 10 km races, or a 2.5 km walk. This is a free solidarity event supporting the 12 de Octubre Hospital, with sponsorship from Sacyr. The first edition is organized as a community running and athletics event, not exclusively for elite athletes.
The route follows Parque de Pradolongo, keeping the race near the hospital and its neighborhood. Runners gather at the David González Rubio football fields at 9:30 AM for a group photo before the 10:00 AM start. Sacyr's sports club is providing 50 complimentary bibs; interested runners should specify their chosen distance (5 km or 10 km) when registering.
Carrera Nocturna de Azuqueca
The Carrera Nocturna de Azuqueca is a night running event held in Azuqueca de Henares, located in the province of Guadalajara. Taking place in October, it features two road-running distances: 5 km and 10 km. Both distances are designated as non-competitive, suggesting the event functions more as a community evening run rather than a formal race focused on rankings.
The course details are not provided street-by-street in the available listing. Participants select either the 5 km or the 10 km route within Azuqueca de Henares. Despite its non-competitive designation, the event includes a classifications and results section for viewing outcomes. It is also part of the broader Guadalajara running calendar, appearing alongside other local events like the Media Maratón Azuqueca.
V CARRERA POPULAR EL CAÑAVERAL
El Cañaveral offers a 5K and 10K, alongside children's runs and a Dorsal 0 for supporters. It's a well-attended road race in El Cañaveral, Vicálvaro, Madrid, organized by CDE El Cañaveral Madrid and held each October. The event supports Corre para Dar Vida, a campaign encouraging bone marrow and plasma donation.
The race caters to local runners, families, and beginners, as well as those aiming for a specific time. Participants receive chip timing, aid stations with drinks and snacks, medical assistance, a runner's bag, medals, trophies, and a speaker at the finish line. The event also features children's activities, kids' races, and convenient parking, contributing to its popularity among Vicálvaro's races.
Carrera Ponle Freno-Madrid
Carrera Solidaria de Manos Unidas
The Carrera Solidaria de Manos Unidas is a charity run taking place in Torrejón de Ardoz, within the Parque de Ocio. It features 5K and 10K races for runners, alongside a 1K option suitable for families. The event caters to both dedicated athletes and those participating for the cause. The main race commences at 11:00 AM.
The event supports Manos Unidas' efforts in Kara, a village in Chad, aiming to enhance primary education access for children and provide the school with adequate infrastructure. This marks the thirteenth edition of the series. Its initiation was supported by Father Víctor, mayor Alejandro Navarro Prieto, Manos Unidas volunteers, and world athletics champion Juan José Crespo. Registration can be completed online via Deporticket, with on-site sign-ups accepted until 30 minutes before the start.
Carrera Popular la Zaporra
Carrera Popular la Zaporra is an urban running event in San Sebastian de los Reyes, Madrid. It includes adult races of 10 km and 5 km, and a children’s race of 1.5 km. Held in October, the event has completed over fifty editions, establishing it as a long-standing local tradition.
The 10 km race is competitive, consisting of four laps on a 2.5 km city circuit. The 5 km race follows the same loop twice and is non-competitive, suitable for casual runners or those seeking a shorter distance. Children complete one 1.5 km lap in a non-competitive format. Entry for children is free, while adult registration is €10.40.
Cross Fiestas Barrio del Pilar
Cross Fiestas Barrio del Pilar is a cross-country race held during the Barrio del Pilar festivals in Parque Carmen Tagle, also called Parque Norte, on Avenida Monforte de Lemos. The first race starts at 9:00 AM, and the event is split into several races rather than one single mass start.
The program uses separate categories for minors, senior women, senior men, veteran women, and veteran men, with veterans starting at age 35. Runners need to register in advance with the correct category form; there is no race-day registration. The organizers publish the schedules, distances, and race circuits separately. The event has more than thirty editions behind it.
Carrera contra el Suicidio
Carrera contra el Suicidio is a blue-themed charity race in Madrid’s Parque Juan Carlos I, held on a Saturday in November and organized by the Asociación Sara Jiménez. Over 500 runners participated in its third edition following a five-year hiatus, using the run to draw public attention to suicide as a serious health problem in Spain.
The participants included families, individuals affected by suicide, public figures, and several associations, making the event resemble a shared awareness day more than a typical club race. TALGO sponsored the race, television presenter Loren was present at the start, and the event also advocated for a National Suicide Prevention Plan, coinciding with International Suicide Survivor Day.
La Nocturna de Toledo
La Nocturna de Toledo is a night run in Toledo, offering 8.5-kilometer and 5-kilometer options. Held in October, these non-competitive races prioritize participation, charity, and the city's atmosphere over speed. After 18 years, the event attracts athletes from across Spain, and Corredor magazine has listed it among Spain’s most recommendable sporting events.
The route passes many of Toledo’s main landmarks, such as the Cathedral, the Alcázar, San Martín Bridge, Bisagra Gate, the Monastery of Santo Domingo el Real, Rojas Theater, and Plaza de Zocodover. Its charitable mission, present since its inception, supports the Niemann Pick Foundation of Spain, with special recognition also given to APANAS and Maratón pura lección de vida. The night setting is key: runners navigate the historic city as monuments are illuminated, and the spectators give Toledo a unique race-night ambiance.
Trail Las Rozas Run
The Trail Las Rozas Run takes place on a Saturday morning in Las Rozas, Madrid, beginning at 09:30. Participants can choose from three distances: a 5K, a 10K, and a half marathon offered as a team relay. This allows for both individual participants and groups to compete in the longer distance.
The organizer characterizes the course as "competitive-family," suggesting a race designed for varied skill levels, not exclusively for elite trail runners. Tyr Producciones is the organizing body. The event provides timing services, medals, a sound system at the finish line, aid stations with refreshments, a runner's bag, a cloakroom, restrooms, medical support, parking nearby, and a prize raffle. It also functions as a solidarity event, incorporating a charitable cause.
Cross C.A. Suanzes de San Blas
Carrera por la Terapia Ocupacional
Carrera por la Terapia Ocupacional is a running event in Moncloa-Aravaca, Madrid, featuring a 10 km race, a 5 km race, a 3 km option, and a walk. The program begins at 10:00 AM, accommodating runners seeking a standard road distance and individuals preferring a shorter, more relaxed pace.
The route is divided into separate 5 km and 3 km/walk courses, suggesting a practical local event rather than a single-distance competition. Eventsthinker organizes the series, with the 5 km entry fee set at 10 euros. The race page provides access to rules, results, photos, and course maps, allowing participants to engage as a timed run or a community walk supporting occupational therapy.

About 5K races in Madrid
Madrid Training Notes
Madrid hosts 54 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 daily stuff in Madrid Rio, Casa de Campo, El Retiro, Parque del Oeste, and Paseo de la Castellana. Madrid Rio gives nearly 10 km of paths along the Manzanares River. El Retiro has a loop around the whole park, and it is easy to get in a 6-8 km run without seeing the same thing twice. El Retiro has a 2 km running track. Don’t Die Madrid Running Club meets every Sunday. Madrid Runners meet Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Sundays. We Run Madrid meets Wednesdays and Saturdays. Parkrun Retiro anchors Saturday with a timed 5K at 9:00 AM. Anchor races include Madrid Marathon, San Silvestre Vallecana, Carrera de la Mujer, Rock 'n' Roll Madrid races, and Vuelta a la Casa de Campo.
Locals ride base miles on the Green Cycle Belt, Casa de Campo, and the Carril bici de Colmenar. Casa de Campo sits on the west bank of the River Manzanares and covers more than 1,700 hectares. The Carril bici de Colmenar takes riders out of Madrid toward the Guadarrama mountain range. Madrid Sierra Cycling Group runs morning weekend rides in the Sierra, with Navacerrada, Rascafria, and Miraflores in the mix. The climbs sit around Puerto de Navacerrada, Morcuera, Canencia, and the Sierra de Madrid. The Miraflores loop climbs Morcuera, drops to Rascafría, cuts toward Lozoya, climbs Canencia, and returns to Miraflores at about 80 km. Anchor events include Bh Madrid-Segovia, La Vuelta ciclista a España, and Circuito MTB 7 Estrellas - Madrid, Ruta de las Encinas - 25km.
April to June and September to October suit both runners and riders in central Spain. Madrid sits at 650 m, so easy Z2 can feel crisp even when the sun is out. Summer gives hot, dry days, and July and August are the months locals try to avoid for bigger rides and long runs. Locals shift intervals, base miles, and steady spins to the early morning or the last few hours of sunlight. Winter brings cool air from December to February, with frequent frosts, sporadic snowfalls, and cold mornings. Winter temps top out around 8°C, so gloves matter for both sports.
