The Madrid Vintage Run by TotalEnergies is a 10K race held in Madrid, Spain, on a late May morning, starting at 9:00 AM. Its main draw is speed, utilizing a largely downhill course through central Madrid, marketed as potentially the world's fastest 10K. It is designed for runners aiming for a personal best, rather than those seeking a relaxed city run.
The course follows Paseo de La Castellana, a primary north-south avenue in Madrid, offering a direct urban path through the city center. Registration can fill quickly, with 10,000 runners registered and entries selling out, according to available race details. The "Vintage" designation reflects the event's retro theme, with TotalEnergies as the title sponsor and Brooks serving as an official sponsor for several years. Rodrigue Kwizera's preparation for the event highlights the serious approach fast runners take toward this downhill 10K.
