The Milla Urbana de Banyoles is a one-mile road race held on Passeig Antoni Gaudí, adjacent to the Club Natació Banyoles facilities. It takes place on an autumn afternoon, focusing on the classic terrestrial mile distance of 1,609 meters. Separate races are organized for children, adapted athletes, under-16 runners, and the main men's and women's fields. The athletics section of Club Natació Banyoles organizes the event, which now attracts approximately 150 athletes across all categories. The mile course follows a closed urban circuit comprising two large laps and one shorter lap, allowing runners to remain close to spectators throughout most of the race. The program also features a 5 km popular race, introduced after the event evolved beyond its initial structure. The race originated as an internal Club Natació Banyoles athletics activity to signal the start of a new season, subsequently growing into a local race day for club runners, younger age groups, and visiting athletes from clubs including GEiEG and Cornellà Atlètic.

Cros dels Arenys is a cross-country race held at Can Jalpí in Arenys de Munt, located inland from Arenys de Mar within Catalonia’s Maresme region. It is part of the Maresme Cross Circuit, a series of local cross-country races organized in autumn by Gesport and the Maresme Sports Council, with backing from municipal governments throughout the comarca. The Arenys race is coordinated by the town halls of Arenys de Mar and Arenys de Munt, Penya Apa Anem-hi, Gesport, and the Maresme Sports Council. The course is identified as the Maresme circuit at Can Jalpí, indicating a local cross-country event rather than a road race through urban streets. The participants include school-age groups like Under 12 and Under 16, alongside open and masters categories, with club athletes frequently appearing in the rankings. A convenient aspect of the broader circuit is the option for a single online registration to cover multiple races within the circuit, and participants retain the same chip bib for all events entered.

Up Xic Trail is a November trail-running weekend held in Sant Hipòlit de Voltregà and Les Masies de Voltregà, near Barcelona, Catalonia. The event offers runners multiple options on hilly terrain: an 11 km trail with 500 metres of elevation gain, a 25 km trail with 1,300 metres of elevation gain, and a short uphill cronoescalada covering 4.5 km with 500 metres of gain. The event also provides combined formats for participants seeking two races over the weekend. The shorter combination links the 4.5 km climb with the 11 km trail, and the longer one pairs the same climb with the 25 km route. The 4.5 km option is also available as a non-competitive trail, indicating the weekend caters not only to long-distance runners but also to those desiring a steep, concentrated mountain effort without undertaking the full 25 km course.

Cros de Canet de Mar is a cross-country running event in Canet de Mar, a town on the Barcelona coast in the Maresme area. The race takes place around the Can Misser industrial estate, near H2O Fitnes & Club Canet, making it a compact local cross course rather than a point-to-point road race. Recent listings show short non-competitive trail options of 3.7 km and 4.9 km, while federation events at the same meeting use age-group race distances. The event is organized by Canet de Mar town council with support from the Diputació de Barcelona, the Catalan athletics federation, the Maresme school sports council, Atletisme Sport Canet, and Gesport. The meeting has hosted Catalan championship racing, including the Catalan Master Cross Championship and the Catalan Short Cross Championship. When the master championship was held there, over 200 veteran athletes competed in individual, club, and mixed relay formats, with CA Vic winning the 45-50 mixed relay category. The programme can include absolute men’s and women’s races for sub-20, sub-23, senior, and master athletes, plus younger categories from sub-12 through sub-18. Championship entries require a valid federation license for the current season.

The race begins in the morning from Carrer Josep Maria Pallàs and is open to participants aged 16 and older. Vic City Council, ETB Esport, and Club Natació Vic are organizing the event, following strong participation in the city's popular night race, Els 7 Portals - Vic.

The series is in its thirteenth year and maintains the original race order, allowing the league to conclude with a more relaxed final gathering. Each finish line provides essential aid like water, nuts, and sweets. The final timed climb leads to the Santuari dels Àngels, where runners receive concluding refreshments, awards, and a participant prize raffle.
