Carrera de la Sandía 2026

Carrera de la Sandía is a road race held in Velada, Toledo, in late August. The event provides 5 km and 10 km race options, suitable for local runners seeking a brief evening run or those desiring a longer, accessible road race. The asphalt course is organized by the Ayuntamiento de Velada, with Velada Runners involved in its initial years. Originating as a community running event, it retains that character. The name reflects Velada’s watermelon identity, and the format remains straightforward, local, and accommodating to runners.
