Carreira Popular do Nadal is a Christmas-season community event in A Rúa, a town in Ourense, Galicia. It offers a 6.5 km run and a 6.5 km walk, both non-competitive, emphasizing participation over racing for places.
The format is simple: runners and walkers cover the same stated distance, with separate categories for running and walking. The event publishes classifications and results, providing participants a record of the day even though the races are not framed as competitive.
