Allianz Jean Bouin

Allianz Jean Bouin is a late-November road running series in Barcelona, offering 10K and 5K options alongside competitive races. It is Spain’s oldest road race in athletics, originating in 1920 with a 10K from Esplugues de Llobregat into Barcelona. The event caters to various participants, with a program that can include up to 17 races for schoolchildren, popular runners, federated athletes, and professionals. The most competitive racing takes place on Montjuic, featuring a circuit with challenging climbs and descents rather than a flat course. In the men’s elite race, participants complete three laps to cover the distance. The field can be substantial, with over 19,000 athletes in a recent edition, and past winners include Ezekiel Letaya and Blanca Fernandez. Allianz has sponsored the race for over a decade, with the partnership including company participation, a staff classification, and over 150 employees running in the centenary edition.
