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.

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 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.

One published results list for the 15.5 km race indicates 134 finishers, and the winner maintained an average pace of 4:19 per kilometer, suggesting a fast pace at the front despite the event's character as a community mountain race.

The series is in its thirteenth year and maintains the original race order, allowing the league to conclude with a more relaxed final gathering.
