Cursa de la Festa Major de Barberà del Vallès 2026

The Cursa de la Festa Major de Barberà del Vallès is an asphalt running event held in Barberà del Vallès, a town near Barcelona. Unió Atlètica Barberà and the city council organize it as part of the Festa Major programme. The main race starts on the athletics track at the Can Llobet Sports Complex and covers 5 km for participants aged 16 and up. Shorter children’s races are also part of the programme. The children’s events are divided by age group, with distances of 400 m, 800 m, and 1.2 km. This structure makes the day feel more like a local club festival than a single adult race. Bibs can be collected at the UA Barberà offices at Can Llobet, and an additional tent will be available on race day until shortly before the events begin. Having reached at least its twentieth edition, this is a well-established town race integrated with the local athletics club and the Festa Major calendar.
