The Carrera de la Mujer in Valencia is a women’s running event of approximately 6.5 km, held in Valencia’s Ciudad del Running. The course is centered on Ingeniero Manuel Soto and is part of the national Carrera de la Mujer circuit. Recent editions have begun on Sunday mornings. The race is organized by Eventos Deportivos de Sport Life Ibérica. It is designed for mass participation, with about 8,000 solidarity runners anticipated in Valencia. The event focuses on women running together rather than an elite competition.
The Valencia race connects sport with a distinct social message, advocating for women’s running and emphasizing women’s contributions in sport and society. Its solidarity efforts back causes such as cancer awareness, the fight against gender violence, and initiatives addressing social and educational disparities affecting women. The event also collaborates with organizations like Alanna, the Asociación Española Contra el Cáncer, and Mamás en Acción, lending the day a campaign atmosphere alongside its race-day feel.
