5K i 10K Sastre & Ferrando - Benicarló 2026

The Sastre & Ferrando 5K-10K is a city road race in Benicarló, Spain, offering 5 km and 10 km distances, replacing the town's previous half marathon. It takes place in June and honors Alexis Sastre and Cristina Ferrando, two athletes from Benicarló who earned Spanish high jump titles. The course remains within the city limits, crossing Benicarló’s most characteristic streets. This design caters to local runners, families, and residents, not exclusively long-distance specialists. The shift to shorter distances was intentional; the City Council aimed for a more accessible event with wider participation, while also providing local children with prominent sporting figures from their community.
