Cycling & running events in Tarragona, 2026

Tarragona-Reus Coastal Training

Running: Locals start easy on Paseo del Faro, because the route gives you 7 km of flat out-and-back running with the sea beside you and the city skyline behind it. Parque del Francolí keeps the week honest, because the surface mixes asphalt and dirt for laps away from the road. Club Atletismo Tarragona has deep roots here, and Run4Fun Reus brings runners from Reus and around out every Wednesday and one weekend day. Run4Fun Reus keeps several paces, from first-timers to people already carrying fitness. Trail Tarragona, Cursa Tàrraco - La Mina, Pujada al Loreto, Peonada Popular de Tarragona, Carrera de la Mina, and San Silvestre give the calendar its anchor race feel.

Cycling: The route covers 6 km and gains 360 m while skirting Reus and visiting Tarragona centre. The route passes Pont del Diable, so the ride gets a proper Tarragona marker without turning into sightseeing. The 38 km route with 165 m of elevation change works for sharp spins. The 42 km route with 338 m gives you more bite. The 61 km route with 423 m works for stronger Z2 efforts. La Mussara and L'Albiol sit west, and locals know that is where the climbs start.

Season: May and June feel best for base miles, intervals, and long rides before the coast gets properly hot. August keeps the scene alive, because the 10a Cursa del Seguici de Tarragona brings a 5 km race into summer. Locals use early starts then, and the Paseo del Faro still works because the 7 km stays flat and simple. December changes the rhythm without shutting anything down. Tarragona hosts a 5 km on December 31st, and Trailseries Costa Daurada plus Imperial Tarraco Trail keep trail legs busy when road riders shift toward steadier Z2 and hillier weekends.
