Carrera Popular El Saucejo y sus Aldeas

Carrera Popular El Saucejo y sus Aldeas is a local road race held in El Saucejo, a municipality in the province of Seville, Andalusia. The primary event covers 11 km for senior to veteran participants. Shorter races are available for younger athletes: 5 km for juvenile and cadet categories, 500 m for children, and approximately 200 m for the youngest participants. The start and finish lines are located in the Town Hall square, serving both the main and shorter public courses. The Club de Atletismo Amigos de El Saucejo organizes this event, officially named Carrera Popular “Cooperativa Ntra. Sra. del Rosario El Saucejo y sus aldeas.” A non-competitive 5.5 km walk is offered alongside the race for those who wish to participate without competing. Registration is open to all, irrespective of age, sex, or origin, with the exception of athletes currently sanctioned for doping or unsportsmanlike conduct.

CxM Canillas de Albaida Reto Higinio CON ALBA

The CxM Canillas de Albaida Reto Higinio CON ALBA is a running event held in Canillas de Albaida, a village in Andalucia, Spain. It is part of the CxM series and offers runners several distance options, ranging from a 5 km to a 29 km race. The start is in Canillas de Albaida, with listed race distances including 5 km, 10 km, 14 km, 15 km, 20 km, and 29 km. This variety allows local runners seeking a shorter effort and mountain-running regulars looking for a longer challenge to participate.

Desafío Málaga

Desafío Málaga is an obstacle race in Rincón de la Victoria, in the Málaga area of southern Spain, with start waves in October. Runners choose either 6 km with 20 obstacles or 10 km with 25 obstacles, with an elite 10 km wave going first and later waves spread through the morning and early afternoon. The shorter route is aimed at beginners and groups of friends, and runners can help each other over obstacles; missed obstacles mean burpees instead of stopping the race. The 10 km option is pitched at people who train a few times a week, while the wider event also offers pairs, teams, and company entries, plus best-costume awards, new shirts, new routes, new obstacles, and a warrior party tied to its 10th-anniversary edition.

Becerro Trail is a trail-running event held in Cuevas del Becerro, a village in Andalusia, southern Spain. The start and finish are located at El Nacimiento. The event commences in the morning, offering runners multiple distance options ranging from a 5 km route to a 25 km mountain race. A 14 km open race is also noted. The Ayuntamiento de Cuevas del Becerro organizes the event, which is designed for both local engagement and competition. The courses traverse the village and the adjacent countryside, featuring riverside paths, historic irrigation channels, and Mediterranean olive groves. Participants can register individually or in teams of up to three. The event also features children’s races of 100 m, 200 m, and 500 m. The target audience includes running enthusiasts from Malaga province. Organizers emphasize minimal environmental impact, the promotion of healthy activity, and backing for local enterprises.

Carrera Urbana Vélez Málaga

Carrera Urbana Vélez Málaga is a road race held in Vélez-Málaga, Málaga province, southern Spain, starting and finishing at Parque Andalucía. The primary adult race covers 10 km, with a 5 km option for runners from the SUB18 age group to masters. A 3 km walk is also part of the programme. The event takes place in late November, organized by the Sports Department of Vélez-Málaga City Council. Online registration is managed through Club Atletismo Vélez. The day features several short races instead of a single mass start: SUB12, SUB14, and SUB16 runners compete over 1,500 m, SUB10 runners cover 700 m, and SUB8 children run 500 m. The walk is non-competitive, without rankings or medals, and raises funds for Asociación Esperanza, supporting women with breast cancer in the Axarquía region. With over forty editions completed, the race is a long-standing local athletics event. Schoolchildren, adult runners, walkers, clubs, families, and charity participants all use Parque Andalucía as a central point.

Semi-Marathon Benalmádena

The Semi-Marathon Benalmádena begins at the Elephants roundabout, guiding participants along the Costa del Sol coastline. This November event, a charity half marathon, is promoted by Holiday World and Benalmádena City Council. The main race covers the standard 21.097-kilometer distance on an urban circuit. The day also features 10K and 5K races, allowing less experienced runners to participate. The event supports Fundación Proyecto Hombre Málaga and is part of the organizers’ social action program, promoting healthy habits and sports tourism in Benalmádena. Trophies are awarded to the top three men and women in each category, all registered runners receive a refreshment bag, and the day concludes with a paella tasting.

Wubira Trail Ciudad de Olvera

The Wubira Trail Ciudad de Olvera begins at Plaza de la Iglesia in the hilltop town of Olvera, Cádiz. This trail-running event typically offers routes of approximately 15 km and 24 km, alongside a 10 km walking option. The 15 km race includes around 540 m of elevation gain. The Olvera Athletics Club and Olvera City Council organize the event, with participants starting from the town center in the morning. The longer course ventures into the countryside surrounding Olvera, diverging from town streets. It incorporates locations such as the Vía Verde de la Sierra, the Peñón de Zaframagón Natural Reserve, the Guadalporcún River and its floodplain, and historic livestock trails. Aid stations are available along the courses. The event was established to highlight the natural surroundings of Olvera and provide a competitive trail race.

Carrera de Navidad de Cártama

The Carrera de Navidad de Cartama is a running event held in late December in Cartama, a town in Malaga province. Organized by Club de Atletismo Cartama and the local council, it features a 10 km main race, shorter school races, and a non-competitive costume run. The races start and finish at the municipal sports facilities. Distances vary by age group, with younger categories running courses up to 2.8 km. Costumed participants cover 4 km and compete for a best-outfit prize. The event is approaching its twentieth edition. Runners receive a bib pack including a commemorative technical shirt and timing chip.

Carrera Navideña Escúzar

Carrera Navideña Escúzar is a 6.7-kilometer road race in Escúzar, a municipality in Granada. It is a Christmas-season event, with a short distance that suits runners looking for a brisk local race rather than a long-distance challenge. The race is part of Granada’s running calendar and is aimed at everyday runners, not just club athletes. The available details point to a community race with a strong runner atmosphere, built around Escúzar itself and the local end-of-year running scene.

Málaga Training Notes

Málaga hosts 11 10K races in 2026 within 80 km of the city centre — upcoming dates, recurring series, and other races nearby, all in one place.

Locals run Málaga like a coastal playground, with flat base miles on Paseo Maritimo and sharper trail days above town. Parque Del Guadalhorce gives runners a circa 8 km flat mix of road and trail, with 122 hectares, 5 man-made lakes, and the Guadalhorce river around it. Centro to Baños del Carmen gives a 7 km flat road trot from La Farola. The route runs 7 km with sea views. Monte San Anton gives a circa 4 km trail route with steep inclines and declines. Malaga Running Group meets Wednesdays at 19:00 at the Glass Cube in Muelle 1. Maratón Málaga 2026, Generali Maratón de Málaga, Ponle Freno Málaga 10k, and San Anton Night Trail anchor the calendar.

Locals ride out of the city centre and hit proper terrain fast. El Puerto del León sits ten minutes north of Málaga city centre and gives a 16 km climb at 5.5%, so it works for Z2, intervals, or a clean warm-up before bigger loops. Montes de Málaga brings the gravel, singletrack, climbs, and fast descents north of town. The N-340 runs east through El Rincón de la Victoria, Torre del Mar, Maro, Nerja, and Almuñecar for flatter coastal spins. The El Torcal loop reaches around 100 km and gains 2,000 m of elevation. Eat Sleep Cycle Cycling Hub and Málaga Bike Hire keep the bike crowd sorted. Desafío Málaga and Subida a la Reina sit on the anchor-event list.

Málaga gives runners and cyclists a long season, with around 300 days of sunshine and mild winter training when much of Europe is hiding indoors. Summer brings hot days with very little rainfall, so locals start early, keep the Z2 honest, and save hard work for cooler slots. The sea breeze can make summer to early autumn feel more humid, and apparent temperature can run higher than the number on the forecast. Winter changes the rhythm more than the access, because average daytime maximum temperatures sit around 17°C and most of the year’s rainfall lands then. The Montes de Málaga block cold northern winds, so both sports still roll year-round.
