Carrera Papa Noel La Florida 2026

Carrera Papa Noel La Florida is a 6.5 km running event in Alicante, linked to the La Florida neighbourhood and its local merchants’ association. It starts at 10:00 and sits in the pre-Christmas part of the calendar, with Santa Claus in the name rather than a hard-edged championship feel. The race is listed as non-competitive, so the point is participation more than chasing an official ranking. The event is organized by Asociación de Comerciantes Unidos Alicante, with Asociación de Comerciantes La Florida also tied to it. Entries cover small children through adults, with categories such as Chupetines, Benjamines, Alevines, Senior, and Veterano. The start list mixes club runners, including athletes from local clubs, with independent participants, which makes it more like a neighbourhood running morning than an elite race.
