Carrera por la Diabetes connects road races in Spain and Costa Rica with the goal of running and walking to support diabetes awareness and social programs. The events offer accessible formats, including 5k and 10k races plus walking options, allowing participation from regular runners, first-timers, and those who prefer to walk. In Sevilla, the race is a November carrera popular organized by ANADIS DIABETES SEVILLA. The Costa Rica event begins and ends at the Colegio de Médicos y Cirujanos in La Sabana. The first Carrera por la Diabetes was held in Costa Rica. This race is part of the broader Costa Rican running calendar and is associated with the Asociación Costarricense de Endocrinología, with funds supporting diabetes-related work. The series emphasizes making a public-health cause visible through a familiar community race format rather than a single famous course.

The Carrera Fran Castillo is a 7.6 km road race held in Villanueva del Ariscal, a town within the province of Seville. It takes place in November and features a shorter race alongside age-category events, making the day suitable for more than just the main participants. The race attracts runners from Villanueva del Ariscal, other parts of Seville province, and the wider Andalusia region. This event marks its eighth running. A key aspect is its charitable purpose, with all proceeds benefiting AFA VILLA, the Villanueva del Ariscal Alzheimer's association, which provides support to individuals impacted by Alzheimer's and their families.

The Carrera Solidaria Kambia por India is a 5 km run in Sevilla, held in a non-competitive format. The date is not yet confirmed; runners can request notification when organizers announce it. The event listing provides minimal course information beyond the 5 km distance, suggesting it is more of a community run than a competition focused on rankings. The term “Solidaria” in the name indicates a charitable purpose. This event is part of Buscametas’ broader Andalusian race schedule, which includes other local running events near Sevilla.

The Carrera San Silvestre de Fuentes is a short race held in late December in Fuentes de Andalucía, a town in the province of Sevilla. It begins in the afternoon at CEIP Santa Teresa de Jesús, which also functions as the finish line, and the primary race is 5.5 km long. It is part of the Spanish San Silvestre tradition, which features popular year-end road races connected to New Year’s Eve, although this particular race takes place a few days prior. The event is limited in scale, with only 170 bibs offered for the adult race, and descriptions indicate it is non-competitive. Youth categories range from pre-benjamín to infantil, alongside junior/cadet, senior, and veteran entries, positioning it as a local club-and-family event rather than a large urban competition. Individuals wishing to support the event without participating in the run can opt for a "dorsal cero" entry. Spain holds over 200 San Silvestre races annually, and the Fuentes de Andalucía event is among the smaller community-based races within that extensive schedule.
