Cursa de l'Esquiador is a long-running Anoia race series organized by the UECANOIA Excursionist Club. Its origins lie in walking, cross-country running, and mountain biking. The series was established to gather diverse outdoor sports enthusiasts in a shared natural environment, offering more than a single standard footrace. For 30 years, it has been held, with its initial three formats—Marcha, Cros, and BTT—defining the first 25 editions. The routes traverse paths and trails within the Anoia region. Recent editions feature circular courses beginning and ending in the same municipality. The present arrangement employs two distinct routes for safety reasons, diverging from the previous practice of having every discipline share the identical course. Carme is among the host municipalities. The race also serves as an opportunity for participants to explore the Anoia countryside through riding, running, or walking.
