Carrera Popular Villa de Dolores

The Carrera Popular Villa de Dolores is a local 7K race held in Dolores, a town in Alicante, Spain. It is designed for community involvement, featuring a main 7K run alongside a 4.6K Nordic walking event and a 4.6K non-competitive walk for those preferring a less intense participation. School races are offered at no charge, allowing children to engage in the event actively. The start and finish lines are situated on Avenida Alcalde Jose Rodriguez, anchoring the event within the town center. The Sports Department of Dolores City Council is the organizer, and the race has been held for at least fifteen years. Registration fees are modest, with the 7K priced from 10 euros and discounts available for teams of ten or more. Following the race and walks, participants receive typical Spanish post-event refreshments: a sandwich and a soft drink.
